Max Holloway

Holloway's card story starts in 2013, when Topps put him in Knockout, Finest and Bloodlines in the same year, so he has three RC-flagged rookies plus a '1st Autograph'-stamped Finest signature. His 2017 title run came during Topps Chrome UFC, and the Panini (2021–23) and renewed Topps (2024 on) eras added Prizm rainbows and Chrome autos.

Rookie card

2013 Topps UFC Knockout #42

Holloway's first Topps card to reach the market: 2013 Topps UFC Knockout came out months before Finest (Sept 2013) and Bloodlines (Dec 2013). SLAB-Z notes this card 'is often referred to as his first "rookie" card'.

Commonly misidentified

The Finest autograph and Bloodlines auto-relic are often listed as 'RC' — they are rookie-year autographs without an RC designation. Some listings present Finest #62 as his only rookie, overlooking Knockout #42 and Bloodlines #9.

Max Holloway's rookie card: 2013 Topps UFC Knockout #42 — Max Holloway.

TCDB flags three 2013 Topps-made Holloway cards RC: 2013 Topps UFC Knockout #42 (released May 22, 2013 per TCDB; Cardboard Connection's set article is dated June 2013), 2013 Finest UFC #62 (September 11, 2013) and 2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines #9 (December 13, 2013). None prints an RC logo. Knockout #42 is the working pick as the first to be released, and SLAB-Z notes it is 'often referred to as his first "rookie" card'. Finest #62 is the chromium rookie that Topps Ripped highlights; all three are legitimate RCs.
