Why this card matters
The earliest Eddie Alvarez card either source can show, and the only one issued while he was Bellator's lightweight champion. It comes from Leaf's unlicensed multi-promotion MMA set (originally announced as Razor MMA, released 22 September 2010), which is why it carries no Bellator or UFC marks even though Alvarez had held the inaugural Bellator lightweight title since June 2009. Every Topps card of his is four years later, so this is the whole pre-UFC record of his cardboard.

- SportsCardsPro shows no parallel rows for this base card, only grade rows
| Alvarez's first cards came with his UFC arrival in 2014. | 2010 Leaf MMA #88 and the matching 2010 Leaf MMA Autographs #AUEA1 predate his Topps debut by four years. Both were issued while he fought for Bellator. |
| The 2010 Leaf card shows him as a Bellator champion. | Leaf had no promotional licence — Cardboard Connection describes the product as a rebranded Razor MMA release covering fighters across promotions, so no Bellator branding appears. |
