Why this is the rookie
TCDB's full list for Prochazka starts in 2021, and TCDB flags Prizm #84 RC; the RC logo is visible on the SportsCardsPro scan. Cardboard Connection dates 2021 Panini Prizm UFC to April 28, 2021. His Select (#35/#149/#285) and Chronicles rookies are also RC-flagged, but Prizm is the flagship rookie most collectors mean.
Prochazka's rookie card in Panini's first UFC Prizm, released April 28, 2021 (Cardboard Connection). It is his earliest-released licensed card: TCDB lists nothing before 2021. It is in the vertical half of the 200-card base set, and TCDB lists a full Prizm rainbow for it, from Silver to a Black 1/1.
Rookie-year autos (Prizm Octagon/Sensational Signatures, Immaculate #106) get sold as 'RC autos'. Silver Prizms get listed as base #84. The 2024 Topps Chrome #95 gets called his 'Topps rookie', though it has no RC designation.
Identifying it
- Vertical Prizm design, RC logo top-left, UFC tag top-right
- Name printed 'JIŘÍ PROCHÁZKA' with diacritics, 'LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT'
- Card #84 on back
- Base has no colour prizm; Silver is the unnumbered refractive parallel
