Collector profile “The Notorious”

Conor McGregor

McGregor's cardboard starts with 2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines: the #139 rookie, its Flag /188 parallel, and the FA-CM first autograph, all from a high-end product with a hit in every pack. After that, the key cards are the 2014 Knockout KA-CM /149 (his first on-card auto), the refractors from the first 2017 Topps Chrome UFC set, and the cards from Panini's first UFC Prizm and Select sets in 2021. Be careful with 2014 Topps UFC Champions #32: it gets sold as a 'rookie' but isn't one.

The rookie

#139

Rookie card

2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines #139

The McGregor rookie card. Bloodlines was a high-end product with a hit in every pack rather than a mass-market flagship set, and the card shows him as an unknown featherweight fresh off the Brimage knockout, before Aldo, Mendes or the belts.

Commonly misidentified

2014 Topps UFC Champions #32 is sold by some eBay sellers as a 'rookie' or 'second year rookie', but TCDB gives it no RC flag and the guides agree the rookie is 2013 Bloodlines #139. The 2013 Bloodlines FA-CM autograph and BL-CM insert are rookie-year cards that get lumped in as 'rookies' (eBay's catalogue tags the FA-CM 'AU, RC'), but #139 is the only McGregor card TCDB flags RC. TCDB's McGregor page also lists a 1922 Godfrey Phillips 'McGregor' card, which appears to be a different person (a footballer), not an earlier Conor McGregor card.

Card history

McGregor's first cards came out in 2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines (December 2013), months after his UFC debut. The set has his RC-flagged base #139 in Flag, Black, Red and Platinum parallels, plus his first certified autograph, FA-CM. Cardboard Connection says his 'first MMA cards' appeared in that set.

From 2014 to 2016 Topps put him in its autograph and relic lines as his profile rose. 2014 Knockout had KA-CM /149, KAR-CM /250 and TTAR-CM /18. 2016 added Museum Collection Archival Autographs and two Topps Now print-to-order cards for UFC 202 and UFC 205.

Topps' UFC license ran from 2009 to 2020. Panini's multi-year exclusive began with 2021 Panini Prizm UFC on April 28, 2021, where McGregor has base #30, and Select, Chronicles and Donruss followed.

Fanatics Collectibles announced the UFC deal on January 31, 2024, and Topps returned with 2024 Topps Chrome UFC on March 20, 2024 (McGregor #49). Topps' 2024 Royalty UFC, released April 4, 2025, lists him in the Royal Decree autograph set.

Conor McGregor's rookie card: 2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines #139 — Conor McGregor.

TCDB lists McGregor's earliest cards as 2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines (released December 2013), and #139 is the only card of his flagged RC. Cardboard Connection ('McGregor received his first MMA cards in 2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines'), Card Review Club ('A 2013 RC'), Short Story Guide ('2013 Bloodlines is his rookie and 1st auto') and Topps Ripped all agree. No Cage Warriors or other pre-UFC trading cards were found for him on TCDB or in any guide, so collectors have no earlier card to count.
