Jack Della Maddalena

JDM's first card is 2022 Panini Instant UFC #1. It covers his UFC 270 debut, carries an RC logo and has a print run of 317. His mainstream RC-flagged cards didn't arrive until 2023 Prizm, Donruss and Select. According to Wikipedia he held the UFC welterweight title from May 10 to November 15, 2025, which makes the gap between the 2022 Instant card and the 2023 rookies the main question for his collectors.

The rookie case

2023 Panini Prizm UFC #187 Jack Della Maddalena — front
#187
Rookie card · working pick Rookie disputed

2023 Panini Prizm UFC #187

His first card in a major flagship-style set, released April 28, 2023 (TCDB). SportsCardsPro tracks it as his rookie, and it's the Prizm parallel base for his rookie year.

Where sources disagree

Sources disagree: Panini prints its RC logo on 2022 Panini Instant #1, his earliest card, but TCDB does not flag it RC and SportsCardsPro marks it not a rookie; both treat 2023 Prizm #187 as his rookie.

Commonly misidentified

Instant '/317' and '1/186' numbers are announced print runs, not serial numbers. 2023 Prizm #187 is sometimes called his 'first card', but the 2022 Instant cards came first.

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

Jack Della Maddalena's rookie card: 2023 Panini Prizm UFC #187 — Jack Della Maddalena.

TCDB RC-flags his 2023 releases: Panini Prizm #187, Donruss #208 Rated Rookie and Optic #144 Rated Rookie; Prizm #187 came first, and SportsCardsPro also lists it as a rookie. His earliest card, 2022 Panini Instant #1 from his UFC 270 debut (22 January 2022), prints Panini's RC logo, but TCDB does not flag it and SportsCardsPro marks it 'not a rookie'. 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.
