Ian Machado Garry

All of his early cards read 'Ian Garry'; the Machado Garry surname came later, so search both names. His first card is 2021 Panini Instant #49, for his UFC 268 KO debut, with an RC logo and a print run of 1,802. The 2022 Donruss and Optic Rated Rookies are the RC-flagged cards in regular packs.

Panini Instant UFC Rookies: When the First Card Isn't the Rookie

Panini prints an RC logo on its print-to-order Instant cards. TCDB doesn't flag them. Here's how FightCardboard handles the gap, fighter by fighter.

Uncertain

Ian Machado Garry's rookie card: 2022 Donruss UFC #213 — Ian Machado Garry.

TCDB's first RC-flagged cards for him are 2022 Donruss #213 Rated Rookie (May 2022) and the later 2022 Optic #108 Rated Rookie, Select and Chronicles cards; Donruss #213 came first. His earliest card, 2021 Panini Instant #49 (UFC 268, 6 November 2021), prints Panini's RC logo but has no TCDB RC flag. FightCardboard's rule for Panini Instant cards: the working pick is the earliest TCDB-flagged RC in a regular release, and the Instant card is recorded as the other candidate.
