2021 Panini Instant UFC Checklist and Details

2021 Panini Instant UFC is an ongoing series that highlights fights and matches as they happen. Like Panini Instant sets in other sports, it’s a print-on-demand product available exclusively through the card maker’s website.

Cards are available for a limited time (one week for the initial waves). Whatever’s ordered is what’s printed. Collectors wanting to catch up on what they missed will have to look to the secondary market.

Individual cards are $9.99. However, there are also discounts for bulk orders. The lowest price on a per-card basis is $99.99 for a 25-card lot, which works out to $4 per card.

Green (/5) and Black (1/1) parallels are also available. Some 2021 Panini Instant UFC cards also have autographs.

Besides regular fighter cards, there’s also Artist Series Posters cards highlighting major cards. Although numbered separately, these can still be considered as part of the broader Panini Instant UFC banner.

This isn’t the first time UFC cards have gone the print-on-demand route. Prior to Panini jumping into the Octagon in 2021, Topps Now cards took a similar approach for several years.
