Overview: 2005 Topps Cracker Jack
Topps
knows nostalgia. It's proven that with its pre-WWII-themed sets from
the past several years. Last year's Topps Cracker Jack was no exception
as it offered a variety of challenges for set builders, variant trackers
and insert hounds. The 2004 set was based on the 1914-1915 design.
The 2005 follow-up imagines what a 1916 set may have looked like.
Just
like 2004, this year's set will be equally challenging. The base set
consists of 240 cards including 40 shortprints inserted one in every
third pack. Each pack will also contain a mini parallel measuring
2" x 3". The mini parallels will also have additional parallels:
240 Cracker
Jack Red (1 per pack)
240 Cracker Jack Blue (#'d to 50)
240 Cracker Jack Gray (#'d to 25)
240 Cracker Jack White (1 of 1)
And what would Cracker Jacks be without the prize. Every pack of Topps Cracker Jack will also include a surprise pack that will contain one of the following:
-
240 Sticker Parallel
-
Autographs—including 20 different Secret Surprise Signatures and 11 different Cracker Jack Autographs (#'d to 50) featuring Topps Exclusives Barry Bonds (#'d to 25) and Alex Rodriguez.
-
Relics - includes 84 different "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" Relics featuring exclusives Bonds and Rodriguez andsix different "1, 2, 3, Strikes Your Out" Relics.
