Catalogued with an RC flag — COMC and eBay render the title '2009 Topps UFC Round 1 - Vitor Belfort, Marvin Eastman #15 (RC)' and graded copies are sold as his rookie — but it is a shared bout card three years after his DSE issue, and Topps' 2009 sets flag RC across most of the checklist regardless of debut year.

Why this card matters

His first UFC-licensed card, and the only Belfort card in either 2009 Topps set — he does not appear anywhere in Round 2. He is not on it alone: the card pairs him with Marvin Eastman, whom he beat at UFC 43 in 2003. Because two names sit on one card, listings file it under either fighter, which is how a card carrying a rookie flag for a 1996 debutant ends up cheap and easy to miss.

02

Identification

Missing a front scan. Contribute one.

  • Two-fighter bout card; catalogue titles run both ways ('Marvin Eastman - Vitor Belfort' on Jeff Allender's checklist, 'Vitor Belfort, Marvin Eastman' on COMC).
  • Base is unnumbered; Silver parallels are serial numbered /288 and Black retail parallels /888.
  • Search both names and the number 15 — a Belfort-only keyword search misses roughly half the listings.
03

Disputed

Sources disagree

Whether the RC flag on this card belongs to Belfort or to Marvin Eastman is genuinely unclear: one eBay title reads 'Marvin Eastman RC vs. Vitor Belfort', another reads 'Vitor Belfort RC... Rookie'. The parallel serial numbers come from a single checklist source (Allender), although SportsCardsPro independently catalogues a Silver version of this card.
