Why it matters
Topps' third UFC product, released 24 February 2010, with a 150-card base set. Its base run includes a 'WEC Fighter' block — the first time WEC fighters appeared in a Topps UFC product, a year and a quarter before the WEC roster folded into the main Topps UFC base run in 2011 Title Shot. Urijah Faber is #144 in that block, and it is his first card of any kind. The product also carries Cage Relics (30 cards) and an autograph subset. Cardboard Connection's review of the product is dated 25 February 2010, and that article date is the source of the 25 February figure that circulates; the archive uses 24 February.
