Why this card matters
Alvarez's first certified autograph card, four years before Topps signed him. It sits in the Leaf MMA Autographs checklist (310 items on SportsCardsPro) from the product Cardboard Connection describes as one autograph per pack. The unnumbered version is the common one; SportsCardsPro records a Purple /25 and a Gold /5 for Alvarez specifically, which are the versions worth chasing.
Identification

- Insert number AU-EA1 — the AU- prefix plus the signer's initials, the format shared across the Leaf MMA autograph checklist
- SportsCardsPro lists 'Eddie Alvarez [Purple] /25' and 'Eddie Alvarez [Gold] /5' as separate rows under the same number
- Unhyphenated renderings (AUEA1) appear in catalogues and describe the same card
- Unlicensed product — no promotion logos on the card
- A Red parallel of this autograph is catalogued alongside the Purple /25 and Gold /5; its print run is not documented.
| Alvarez's first autograph is the 2014 Topps UFC Bloodlines Fighter Autographs #FA-EA. | That is his first UFC-licensed autograph. The 2010 Leaf MMA Autographs #AUEA1 came four years earlier, from an unlicensed product. |
Disputed
No published Leaf MMA checklist carries an Alvarez autograph line — Sports Card Radio's page lists the Champions Autograph and Dual Autograph subsets without him — so the number rests on catalogue and market listings, which render it AU-EA1. Whether an unnumbered base version exists alongside the Purple /25 and Gold /5 is unconfirmed: SportsCardsPro returns two Alvarez variants and its card page defaults to the Purple. On-card versus sticker is also unconfirmed.

Only SportsCardsPro could be reached for card-level detail. Whether an unnumbered base version exists alongside the Purple /25 and Gold /5 is not confirmed — SportsCardsPro's page returned two Alvarez variants and its card page defaulted to the Purple. Cardboard Connection's product write-up does not break the autograph checklist down by fighter. On-card versus sticker signature is also unconfirmed.
