In roughly a month Topps will be releasing the next round of
UFC cards with 2014 Topps UFC Knockout. Each box will run @$130-140 and will
contain 8 packs (5 cards per pack). You will pull at least 8 hits (2 Autos, 2 Auto-Relics and 4 Relics) and 8
parallels.
The UFC is an ever-evolving entity and Topps does a nice job
keeping up with the fighters. The set consists of 100 fighters, which will be
broken up among young fighters, vets and champions. Each base card will have 5
parallels; Gold, Green and Red plus two different 1/1 parallels: Mat parallels
(printed on a simulated mat) and Printing Plates.
Like previous Knockout releases this set is focused on hits,
which come one per pack. There
will be plenty of autographs, including some on-card autographs. There are
actually 10 different autograph sets, which will include multiple autographs,
Twitter handles and nicknames. Like before there will also be redemptions for
autographed gloves. Relics
will be pretty standard like mats, shirts and shorts and replica championship
belts. Triple Threads will also be part of the autograph and relic sets and
Fist-o-Graph Box Toppers#/10 will be randomly inserted.
My
thoughts, I love UFC and I think that Topps has done a wonderful job. I am not
a high end buyer and sadly my favorite fighter, Ryan Bader, is not on the
checklist I still plan on hunting down some of Benson Henderson and Alistair
Overeem’s cards.
