Why this card matters

Donruss beat Topps to Evans by a year. Ring Kings was a 30-card combat-sports insert inside Americana II, and Evans's card is serial-numbered to 500 with a Directors Cut version numbered to 100. It is the only Evans card that predates the Topps UFC licence, which makes it the piece a first-card collector has to decide about.

Identification

Own this card? Contribute a scan.

  • Coded RK-RE on the card: the Ring Kings insert numbers every card with RK- plus the fighter's initials.
  • Ring Kings is a 30-card combat-sports insert inside Americana II, not part of the base set; each card is serial numbered to 500 on the back, with a Directors Cut version numbered to 100.
  • Americana II carries no UFC marks; Evans is shown in generic fight imagery.
  • Jeff Allender's checklist orders the insert 1–30 and places Evans sixth, so some listings and checklists render the card as Ring Kings '6'. It is the same card.
Often confused with
The card is Americana II #6.It is Ring Kings #RK-RE, an insert numbered to 500. The '6' comes from Jeff Allender's 1–30 ordering of the insert, not from the card, and Americana II's base set has its own separate #6.
A /500 Ring Kings Evans is an autograph.Evans appears in no Ring Kings Signature or Signature Material subset. The /500 card is an unsigned insert; the Directors Cut version numbered to 100 is the only parallel.

Probable

2008 Donruss Americana II Ring Kings #RK-RE — Rashad Evans.

Uncertain

Two things are unsettled. The card number: Allender lists Evans as Ring Kings 6, while the archive's other Americana II Ring Kings entries and confirmed eBay copies (Gina Carano RK-GC) use RK- plus initials, which would make his RK-RE — no source consulted showed RK-RE, so the checklist number is recorded as given rather than guessed. Autograph status: Allender explicitly says Evans is not in any Ring Kings Signature or Signature Material subset, but an eBay seller titled a /500 copy 'Ring Kings Autograph'. Recorded here as an unsigned insert, matching the checklist and the /500 Ring Kings cards already in the archive.
