Mickey Mantle Mystery Redemption

Randomly inserted into packs was a "Mystery Redemption" for the 350th and final card in the base set -- which was fulfilled as a reprint of Mickey Mantle's 1951 Bowman rookie card. Topps had reacquired Mantle's exclusive trading card rights, but their agreement would not begin until January 1st, 2006. Hence, this redemption.

Unlike most redemption cards of the era, NO expiration date is stated. It can be assumed that Topps is no longer honoring these cards.

Draft Pick Variations

Cards #325-#349 in the base set are of players selected in the 2005 MLB Draft. Each sealed Hobby box contains a five-card pack of variations from this subset.

• 325 Jeff Clement (bat on shoulder)
• 326 Jimmy Shull (green wood background)
• 327 Daniel Carte (yellow wood background)
• 328 Travis Buck (kneeling)
• 329 Chris Volstad (wind up)
• 330 Andrew McCutchen (bat on shoulder)
• 331 Cliff Pennington (yellow wood background)

Parallels

All base cards EXCEPT the Mickey Mantle redemption card are available in the following parallels.

• Mahogany (one Mahogany or Relic per pack)
• Mini (one Mini or 1951 Heritage insert per pack)
• Red (one-of-one; Hobby only)
• Printing Plate (set of four for each; Hobby only)

NOTES

• The Mahogany parallels are printed on a thicker gauge of cardstock and can be seen as an anti-pack searching device. Packs containing a Relic card will not have a Mahogany.
• Each one-of-one Red parallel has a black, triangular, holographic sticker on the reverse side.

Inserts

51 Topps Heritage

In honor of the original 1951 Topps Heritage Blue Back and Red Back set, Bowman Heritage also included some of the biggest names in baseball for the 2005 season as part of their Blue Back and Red Back insert sets. The complete set contains 106 cards total, 52 Blue Backs and 54 Red Backs.

NOTE: These cards have the same look and dimensions (2 1/16" X 2 1/2") as, and are often confused with, an insert in 2010 Topps Baseball. These cards are printed on a rougher cardstock and have a Topps Heritage logo on the front.
