2005 Topps Baseball Series 3

Because 2006 Topps Baseball Series 1 will not release until February, Topps will offer a bigger and more thorough late season series to keep collectors busy through the holidays.

Topps Series 3, an exciting season-capper numbered T1 - T330, will cover the 2005 post season including the World Series, traded players in their new uniforms and 110 Rookie Cards featuring 20 of the top picks from the 2005 Amateur Baseball Draft!

In the inserts department, the popular Barry Bonds Homerun History Set continues as Series 3 offers career Homeruns 331-660. Series 3 will also feature a slew of exclusive relic cards from this year's mid-summer classic.

And from the company that brought you the historic Presidential Cut Signatures Collection, Topps Baseball Series 3 will unveil one of the most fascinating signature programs ever created - The Declaration of Independence Cut Signatures. This autograph program will feature 1 of 1 cut signatures from 50 signers of the Declaration of Independence. (Stay tuned for more details on this program).

2005 Topps Baseball Series 3 releases November 7 and carries a $1.59 SRP for each 10-card pack.
