2003 Topps 205 Series One hobby box

2003 Topps 205 Series Two hobby box

Description

Fresh off the successful Topps 206 release of a year earlier, the first series of 2003 Topps 205 was released in July, 2003. The base set consists of 150 cards with 15 (non-short-printed) variations. Each eight-card pack contained one mini-sized parallel, and one "Triple Folder" insert.

Just like the original 1911 T-205's, there are separate designs for the National League, American League, and minor league players. The first 120 cards consists of current Major League players. Cards numbered #121 through #144 feature prospects and first-year players, all using the ornate T-205 Minor League design. Among this subset is a rookie card of Hanley Ramirez.

Card number number 145 features the "rookie card" Louis Sockalexis, a member of the Penobscot Tribe, who was supposedly the player the Cleveland Indians named their team in honor of. Despite playing three seasons with the then Cleveland Spiders, Sockalexis never appeared on a trading card. Cards numbered 146 to 150 feature various "reprints" of some of the tougher T-205 cards.

Each 20-pack box yielded two framed "hits," a box containing an addition 20 mini cards, and a historical essay from noted collector Keith Olbermann. Also randomly inserted in packs were cards featuring "repurchased" tobacco cards. Those cards were inserted at a stated rate of 1:336/packs.

The second series of Topps 205 was released in February 2004. Originally, Topps planned on 205 being a single-series release. However, the tremendous reception 205 received caused Topps to reconsider.

The set consists of 165 cards and ten variations. Unlike the first series, 20 of the cards (mostly the rookies and prospects) are short-printed and seeded into packs at the rate of 1:5. Each eight-card pack contained one mini-sized parallel and one "Triple Folder" insert.

Each 20-pack box yielded two framed "hits," a box containing an addition 20 mini cards, and a historical essay from noted collector Keith Olbermann.

Distribution

20 packs per box, eight cards per pack. Hobby Only.
