01

Why this card matters

Topps put Rampage in a baseball product because in 2008 it had no UFC licence — Allen & Ginter has always carried outside-the-lines subjects, and he arrived in it as the reigning-then-recent UFC light heavyweight champion. That makes it a genuine oddity: the accepted rookie card of a UFC champion sits in a baseball set, a year ahead of the first Topps UFC release.

Identification

Missing a front scan. Contribute one.

  • Card #189 in the 2008 Allen & Ginter base run; the card is catalogued under MMA, not baseball
  • Standard Allen & Ginter portrait design with the framed border and script nameplate
  • Do not confuse it with the 2024/2025 Topps Chrome UFC Allen & Ginter products, which are a separate modern line
Often confused with
#189 is part of an Allen & Ginter 'Power Players' insert set.One seller describes it that way, but #189 sits in the numbered base run. Treat the insert claim as listing error until a checklist confirms otherwise.
03

Disputed

Sources disagree

The set, year and number are consistent across several eBay listings and eBay's own catalogue entry, but no reachable checklist site carried the card — SportsCardsPro has no page for it, and none of the big card databases could be consulted. Allen & Ginter base cards normally have mini and framed-mini parallels; none could be confirmed for #189 specifically, so no parallels are recorded rather than guessed.
