The rookie
2024 Topps Chrome UFC #146
Her first licensed card of any kind, and it arrived almost two years into her UFC run: released 20 March 2024 in the first product of Topps' returning UFC licence, after she had already gone 4-0 in the Octagon. Nothing of hers exists from the Panini years, so this is the floor of her whole card history.

The evidence behind each
- 2024Earliest licensed card — Checklist Insider's 2024 Topps Chrome UFC checklist prints '146 Natalia Cristina da Silva RC' and dates the product to 20 March 2024, the first release of Topps' return to the UFC licence. No Panini-era card of her (2021-2023) appears in any checklist or database consulted, and no Topps Now card of her turned up either.
- 2024First MMA card — Nothing from her pre-UFC career and no non-MMA card of her appears in any source consulted, so her first MMA card is also her first card.
- 2024First UFC card — Checklist Insider lists her at base #146 in the 20 March 2024 product; no earlier UFC-licensed card of her was found, including across Panini's 2021-2023 UFC run.
- 2024First certified autograph — Checklist Insider lists her as CRA-NSI in the 24-card Chrome Rookie Autographs subset of 2024 Topps Chrome UFC, and eBay's catalogue title for the card reads '#CRA-NSI (AU, RC)'. It comes from her first product, so no signature predates it.
- 2024Recognized rookie card — Checklist Insider prints the base line as '146 Natalia Cristina da Silva RC', MMA Rookies names it her True Rookie Card, and eBay's catalogue entry is titled '2024 Topps Chrome UFC - Natalia Cristina da Silva #146 (RC)'. It is also the earliest of her RC-tagged 2024 cards, ahead of Finest, Knockout, Gold Label, Midnight #47 and Royalty #12.
Key Silva cards
10 cards chosen for significance, not completeness; autographs and numbered cards follow below.
Card history
Silva debuted in the Octagon on June 18, 2022 with a decision over Jasmine Jasudavicius and kept winning, but Panini held the UFC licence through 2023 and never put her in a set — no base card, no insert, nothing. Her first two years as a UFC fighter produced no licensed card at all, and no earlier Brazilian or regional issue turned up either, so her card history does not begin until the licence changes hands.
It begins on March 20, 2024 with 2024 Topps Chrome UFC #146, the first product of Topps' returning licence, almost two years and four Octagon wins after her debut. Checklist Insider prints the base line as '146 Natalia Cristina da Silva RC' and MMA Rookies calls it her True Rookie Card; the product guide does not say the cards themselves carry a printed logo, so the designation is the checklist's. Its refractor ladder runs Speckle /299 through Blue Wave /75 and Gold /50 down to Red /5 and a SuperFractor 1/1. The same product carries Chrome Rookie Autographs CRA-NSI from a 24-fighter subset — her first certified autograph, with no signed card of any kind before it — numbered Refractor /150 down to a one-of-one SuperFractor. SportsCardsPro's metadata marks both cards as not rookies, which is an unfilled catalogue field rather than a rival designation.
Topps then spread RC-logo cards across the rest of its 2024 line. Finest UFC #169 sits in the Uncommon tier, on chrome stock, the closest thing she has to a second Chrome rookie; Topps UFC Knockout #3, October 4, 2024, is the hobby-box rookie that turns up raw most often and the one most often submitted for grading; Gold Label UFC, December 13, 2024, gives her #27 in all three Classes with a Black Class 3 numbered /10; and Midnight UFC #47 is the online-exclusive corner of the line, the hardest of them to stumble across in a shop.
The last of the rookie class arrived after the year was over. Topps Royalty UFC is 2024-branded but did not ship until April 4, 2025, and it is the premium end: base #12 is serial-numbered /99, the only one of her rookie-class base cards with a print run on the front, and the Rookie Relic Autograph RRA-NCS, also /99, is her only rookie-era signature carrying a swatch. Note that her two rookie autographs use different fighter codes, CRA-NSI in Chrome and RRA-NCS in Royalty, which makes one or the other easy to miss.
After the May 10, 2025 decision over Alexa Grasso she moves out of the rookie subsets entirely: 2025 Topps Chrome UFC, June 27, 2025, has base #82 and the Chrome Veteran Autographs CVA-NC at 1:97 hobby odds, her first signature without RC branding. Beating Rose Namajunas at UFC 324 on January 24, 2026 made her the number-one flyweight contender, and 2026 Topps Chrome UFC on May 8 carries her at #188 with no rookie designation left anywhere. Everything she has is Topps, and all of it catalogued under 'Natalia Cristina da Silva', which is why she is easy to lose in a search and easy to confuse with the other Silvas.

Card eras
She beat Jasmine Jasudavicius on 18 June 2022 at UFC on ESPN 37 and kept winning, but Panini held the UFC licence through 2023 and never put her in a set. Her first two years as a UFC fighter produced no licensed card at all.
2024 Topps Chrome UFC, released 20 March 2024, is the first product of Topps' new licence and carries her first card, #146, printed on the checklist with an RC designation. The Chrome Rookie Autographs subset in the same product gives her CRA-NSI, her first certified autograph.
Topps spread her RC-logo cards across the rest of the 2024 line: Finest UFC #169 in the Uncommon tier, Topps UFC Knockout #3 (4 October 2024), Gold Label UFC #27 (13 December 2024) across three Classes, and Midnight UFC #47.
2024 Topps Royalty UFC — 2024-branded but not released until 4 April 2025 per Checklist Insider — adds a numbered base card #12 and the Rookie Relic Autograph RRA-NCS /99, her only rookie-era autograph carrying memorabilia.
After the 10 May 2025 decision over Alexa Grasso she moves out of the rookie subsets: 2025 Topps Chrome UFC (27 June 2025) has her base #82 and the Chrome Veteran Autographs CVA-NC, her first autograph without RC branding.
Beating Rose Namajunas at UFC 324 on 24 January 2026 pushed her to the top of the flyweight rankings, and 2026 Topps Chrome UFC (8 May 2026) carries her at #188 with no rookie designation left anywhere on her cards.

Natália Silva's rookie card: 2024 Topps Chrome UFC #146 — Natália Silva.
2024 Topps Chrome UFC #146 carries a printed RC logo, eBay's catalogue entry for it is titled "2024 Topps Chrome UFC - Natalia Cristina da Silva #146 (RC)", and MMA Rookies names it her "True Rookie Card" ahead of her other 2024 RC-flagged cards. It is also the earliest: Checklist Insider dates 2024 Topps Chrome UFC to 20 March 2024, before Finest, Knockout, Gold Label, Midnight and Royalty. No Panini-era (2021–2023) card of her turned up on any source consulted, so nothing predates it.
