UFC Round One (Topps-2009)
Just got finished cracking 4 boxes of this product. I am disappointed with some of the signers that were taken out of the product (Lesnar, Liddell, Dana White) but the set is still beautiful and will be very fun to collect. I did not list a couple of inserts that you could pull (Red versions of all base and inserts #'d 1/1, Gold versions of the inserts /88)

Here is a run down of all four boxes:


Base Parallel (Not Numbered)
28 Different

Base Black Parallel (#'d /288) (1:4)
22 Different

Victorious Debuts Insert (Not Numbered) (1:4):
13 Different, 3 Doubles

Top 10 Fights of 2008 Insert (Not Numbered) (1:4)
12 Different, 4 Doubles

Autographs
Group A (1:118):
Group B (1:188):
Group C (1:72): Bruce Buffer, Rachelle Leah Luv You
Group D (1:15): Clay Guida (x2), Manny Gamburian, Michael Bisping, Diego Sanchez, Karo Parisyan,
Group E (1:70):
Group F (1:94): Paul Kelly
Group G (1:20): Wilson Gouveia, Tim Credeur
Red Ink (1:105): Heath Herring "The Crazy Horse"

Ultimate Gear Relics:
Group A (1:269):
Group B (#'d /500) (1:17): Ben Saunders, Thiago Alves, Forrest Griffin (x2), Royce Gracie

Fight Mat Relics (Not Numbered) (1:10):
Bisping vs Haynes, Jackson vs Eastman, Machida vs Hoger, Jardine vs Schall, Rua vs Griffin, Arroyo vs Kolosci

Fight Mat Relics Gold Parallel (#'d /88) (1:42):
Grove vs Herman, Jackson vs Eastman, Machida vs Hoger

Nice pulls.

I'm in the process of busting my case and noticed that the checklist cards are not complete. I've pulled 3 Autographs and 1 Ultimate Gear that aren't listed, but are mentioned on the box bottom.

My highlights so far are an Anderson Silva auto and Red ink Ben Saunders multi-colored Ultimate Gear Relic.

Some observations:

1) I did have several cards with bad corners and some miscuts.
2) Collation seemed very bad. Could not complete any insert/parallel sets.
3) Topps went overkill putting a checklist in each pack. They probably should have been 1:4.
4) Would've liked to see Topps make the parallels same size as the commons and use a filler card in non-relic packs.

I was at the local card shop today just when their weekly delivery came in. They got their UFC allocation, 1 whole box, which I promptly bought and just finished opening and scanning. I think I pretty much beat the odds on all fronts except for the numbered black base parallels /288 which are supposed to be 1:4 packs but my whole box had just 1.

Here are the highlites:

Top 10 fights gold parallel 17/88



Danzig vs. Speer gold mat relic 49/88



Hamill vs. Forbes gold mat relic 68/88




Wilson Gouviea Ultimate Gear 459/500




Forrest Griffin Ultimate Gear 416/500




Tim Credeur autograph (Level G)



Michael Bisping autograph (Level D)




Manny Gamburyan autograph (Level D)




Randy Couture autograph ( LEVEL A)

Some new additions:











Only need BJ Penn, GSP, and Rampage to have every regular autograph. If anyone is trading inserts or parallels I could use some to finish up my set.
