It is also his earliest card, so the designation and the chronology agree. SportsCardsPro's structured rookie field on the same card still reads 'No', and an eBay pick-from-list checklist for the set marks other RC cards and not #98.

Why this card matters

Pettis's first trading card, from the 150-card Title Shot base set released 4 May 2011 — the product that folded the WEC roster into the main Topps UFC base run after the merger. Topps had already carried WEC fighters a year earlier, in the 'WEC Fighter' block of 2010 Topps UFC Main Event, but Pettis was not in it. #98 shipped a month before his UFC debut against Clay Guida, so it shows him as the reigning (and final) WEC lightweight champion rather than a UFC fighter. Every earlier 2010 MMA product checked — Topps Series 4, Main Event, Knockout and Leaf MMA — lists other WEC names but no Pettis.

Often confused with
Pettis has a 2010 rookie card from his WEC run.No Pettis entry appears in SportsCardsPro's set lists for 2010 Topps UFC Series 4, 2010 Topps UFC Main Event, 2010 Topps UFC Knockout or 2010 Leaf MMA, and Cardboard Connection's Series 4 checklist states he is not in it — even though those sets do carry other WEC fighters such as Ben Henderson and Anthony Njokuani.
2011 Topps UFC Title Shot was the first Topps UFC product to include WEC fighters.2010 Topps UFC Main Event already carried a 'WEC Fighter' block — Urijah Faber is #144 in it, with WEC Fighter recorded as the subset on eBay's catalogue entry. Title Shot is the product that folded the WEC roster into the main Topps UFC base run after the merger.
The Gold or Silver #98 is 'the rookie'.They are parallels of the same base card #98.
