01

Why this card matters

The first Nick Diaz base card in any set, arriving in March 2012 after his UFC return at UFC 137. Nothing from his PRIDE, EliteXC or Strikeforce years produced one, so a fighter who debuted in the UFC in 2003 waited nine years for a card with his own name on the front. Its Silver /188, Green /88 and Red /8 ladder, over a numbered Gold, is the deepest numbered run of any Diaz base card that year.

Identification

Missing a back scan. Contribute one.

  • Base #57 in a 100-card set
  • Parallels: Silver /188, Green /88, Red /8, Mat Stock 1/1, Printing Plates 1/1, over a numbered Gold
  • Distinct from his 2013 Topps UFC Knockout card, which is #24, and his 2017 Topps UFC Knockout card, #58

Disputed

Sources disagree

Base parallel print runs are disputed between catalogues: Cardboard Connection gives Silver /188 and lists Gold as numbered without a figure, while SportsCardsPro gives Silver /125 and puts /188 on the Gold. The archive uses Cardboard Connection's Silver /188 on every card in the set rather than taking different sides card by card.
