Description

2005 Topps Gallery is a 195-card set released in January, 2005, after a one-year hiatus. This would turn out to be the last Gallery set for a dozen years. The packaging was changed to "mini box" format, similar to Finest. Each Hobby box contains four, five-pack mini-boxes, with each mini-box yielding either an autograph or a game-used Relic card.

Distribution

Four, five-pack mini-boxes per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $10). 12 boxes per case. Hobby only.
