Does the 2005 Topps Total First Edition parallel set actually exist?
I have to believe no.
Nothing on the bay both current or completed listings.
Nothing on comc
Nothing on sportlots
Nothing in the beckett marketplace
Just hoping someone would know for sure or not. thanks.
Also if it was never made then how can beckett attain enough pricing info to determine book values???

Peter doesn't have one and deleted it from his wantlist.
I could have sworn this product was made, but they might have opted to do first edition Topps instead of Topps Total in 2005.
Also, Beckett lists and prices many products without actually following and tracking pricing. There's a formula that they use to determine these prices. This is one of the reasons Beckett pricing appears flawed to many collectors.
Be grateful JT isn't in 2001 Quantum Leaf as well. There's an unlisted retail blaster exclusive version that's near impossible to find. It doesn't have the sparkly, raised foil on the name, just a dull silver. I still can't believe I found that Marino.
Trying to finish these sets:
1999 Upper Deck Strike Force Quantum /100
2000 Score Complete Players Green/ Blue
2000 Leaf Piece of the Game Preview 4th Down Isaac Bruce
2008 Premier NFL Equipment /25 John Elway
Let me know if you have any available.

I have the 2005 Topps First Edition JT
Beckett has also added two promos to the OPG of JT. 2003 Upper Deck and 2005 Upper Deck promos. My need list is up to 39 cards but it appears at least 4 cards do not exist. I wish they was a way to confirm it.
And I remember that 01 Quantum Leaf Marino when you got it. Pretty sweet find thats for sure.

Topps total 1st Edition does NOT exist. Whoever decided to make it up in beckett is off base as this set never existed. I had the same on my wantlist for a while before I finally tracked down a real answer. Beckett has never taken those out of their online checklists.
