Why this card matters
The Silver /288 parallel of the card most sources treat as GSP's rookie, showing his UFC 46 debut against Karo Parisyan. It is the lowest-numbered version of #17 after the Red 1/1, and graded copies sell under their own slab label ('SILVER').
Identification
Missing a back scan. Contribute one.
- Card #17 with the UFC DEBUT stamp '1.31.04 UFC 46' and the strip 'GEORGES ST-PIERRE vs KARO PARISYAN'
- Serial-numbered out of 288 (TCDB SN288; SportsCardsPro sales include 99/288 and 250/288)
- PSA labels it '2009 TOPPS UFC ROUND 1 #17 G.PIERRE/K.PARISYAN SILVER'
- In photos the front looks almost the same as the base card; check the serial number or the slab label
| Unslabbed '#17 Silver' photo with no serial shown | The Silver front is hard to tell from base in photos; the serial /288 or a slab label that says SILVER is the proof. |
