Base, Gold, Onyx,
Ruby, Diamond.
Five versions of every base card. The print runs come from secondary sources, not a Topps sell sheet, and one of them is often misquoted.
Gold
- A gold treatment in place of the base card's standard colour.
- Not serial numbered — there is no stamped number on the back to check.
- Photographs of a Gold copy will be added here once one comes through.
Onyx
- Serial numbered to 188 on the card back.
- Cardboard Connection, Card Review Club and eBay listings give /188. TCDB lists the same /188 parallel under the name 'Silver', plus a 'Bronze /88' no other source confirms for 2009 — don't confuse the two.
- If you own one, the number on the back settles it. Send a scan and you'll be credited as a source.
Own an Onyx from this set? The number stamped on the back answers a question no card site has answered correctly. Send a scan and you’ll be credited as a source.
Ruby
- Serial numbered to 8 on the card back.
- At eight copies across a 150-card set this is genuinely scarce, and for #101 it is one of the hardest Jones cards to find in any condition.
- Photographs of a Ruby copy will be added here once one comes through.
Diamond
- One of one.
- Photographs will be added if the card surfaces.
Sources & research Probable×2Unconfirmed×1
Every factual claim on this page, the evidence behind it, and an honest confidence level. Where sources disagree the disagreement is kept, not quietly resolved.
Base cards exist in Gold (unnumbered), Onyx, Ruby (/8) and Diamond (1/1) parallels.
Parallel names corroborated by two sources. Serial numbering rests largely on one secondary source — no manufacturer sell sheet has been seen.
- Cardboard Connection2009 Topps UFC Round 2 Review, accessed September 20, 2026 Source for parallel structure, insert sets and box configuration. Internally inconsistent on Onyx serial numbering (base /188 vs insert /88) — see claim-r2-onyx.

Onyx parallel serial numbering: /188.
Cardboard Connection, Card Review Club and eBay sellers list Onyx as /188. TCDB files the /188 parallel under the name 'Silver' and adds a 'Bronze /88' that no other source confirms for 2009; that separate listing is the likely origin of the /88 figure sometimes attached to Onyx. No Topps sell sheet has been seen.

No credible figure located. Other sites publish estimates. FightCardboard does not, because an estimate repeated often enough becomes a fact.
No credible source located, so nothing is asserted.
