2024 Topps Finest UFC Checklist, Hobby Box Info, Release Date

BySCM

2024 Topps Finest UFC marks the first time the brand has entered the Octagon as a standalone release in more than a decade. While a few of those years could be accounted for due to Panini holding the MMA card license, but even before then Finest had been sitting on the shelf for a while.

The return brings with it the same chrome foundation along with lots of color and bright designs. Hobby boxes promise a pair of autographs. Collectors will also find a handful of Refractor parallels and inserts as well.

2024 Topps Finest UFC Checklist Overview

The base set totals 300 cards, a massive amount for a UFC set. That said, it’s broken down into three distinct sections: Common, Uncommon and Rare.

While all three levels have similar colors when it comes to Refractors, odds and print runs vary.

Outside of standard Refractors and Superfractors, the rest of these are only in hobby packs.

Blaster-style value boxes have Aqua Glitter, Yellow Glitter (/75) and Tangerine Glitter (/50) Refractors. Exclusive to mega boxes are Red Shimmer, Green Shimmer (/93) and Gold Shimmer (/39) parallels.

Autographs and Other Inserts

Finest Autographs and Finest Rookie Autographs are where most of the product’s signatures can be found. Both of these have similar rainbow with seven levels of hobby-only parallels:

  • Refractors
  • Blue Checkerboard Refractors – /75 or less
  • Gold Refractors – /50 or less
  • Black Refractors – /25 or less
  • Red/Black Vapor Refractors – /10 or less
  • Red Refractors – /5 or less
  • Superfractors – 1/1

On the scarce side are UFC Fight Glove Autographs, which are numbered to 25 or less. One-of-one Superfractors are the only parallels for these die-cut cards.

The 2024 Topps Finest UFC checklist has a few standard insert sets as well.

Intimidators (1:10 packs) draws inspiration from the subset in 1996 Finest Baseball.

Other inserts include Chaos (1:10 packs), Headliners (1:12 packs) and Finishers (1:20 packs).

Each of these inserts have Refractors (1:20 packs), Checkerboard Refractors (1:40 packs), Die-Cut Refractors (/75), Gold Refractors (/50), Black Refractors (/25), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1). Select Intimidators also have autographs with additional parallels.

Centurions (1:48 packs) is another throwback set, this time finding roots in 1998-99 Finest Basketball.

UFC Fight Glove cards have unsigned versions as well. However, they’re only in retail packs, falling 1:240 packs.

At 1:480 packs, Bombardiers is the release’s toughest chase set.
