Why this is the working pick

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.

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 dispute

Not a dispute about which card, but about what the catalogues say: SportsCardsPro's metadata marks both #146 and CRA-NSI "not a rookie card", contradicting the printed RC logo, the eBay catalogue's (RC) flag and MMA Rookies. The only real open question is whether Panini ever issued her during 2021–2023; nothing found says it did, but TCDB (which would settle it) was not reachable this research.

Identifying it

  • Card #146 in the 200-card base set
  • Nameplate reads "NATALIA CRISTINA DA SILVA", not "Natália Silva" — the cataloguing name Topps uses throughout
  • RC logo on the front; 2024 Topps Chrome UFC design, base is plain non-refractor chrome
  • Not to be confused with #17 Anderson Silva in the same set
