Why this card matters
Yan's only rookie card and his first card of any kind, from a 100-card set released 11 September 2019 — more than a year after his UFC debut, because Topps left him out of both the 2018 and 2019 Knockout checklists. The refractor rainbow is where the money and the hunting is: Green /99, Blue Wave /75, Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5 and a SuperFractor 1/1.
Identification
Missing a back scan. Contribute one.
- Card #79, listed as 'Petr Yan - Bantamweight' on the checklist
- RC logo on the front; base version is plain chrome with no refractor rainbow
- Card number on the back; 100-card base set, so #79 sits in the last quarter
- Do not confuse with 2020 Topps UFC #79 or 2021 Panini Prizm UFC #79, which are different cards of the same fighter at the same number
| SportsCardsPro says this is not a rookie card, so it isn't one. | That is an empty data field on the price guide, not a designation. Cardboard Connection states first-year fighters in 2019 Topps UFC Chrome carry the RC logo, collectibles.com records the card as '#79 RC', and MMA Rookies names it his True Rookie Card. |
| A 'Petr Yan #79' listing is this card. | Topps reused #79 for him in 2020 Topps UFC and Panini used it again in 2021 Prizm UFC. Check the brand and the design, not just the number. |
