First look: 2013 UFC Bloodlines
By Susan Lulgjuraj | Beckett Sports Card Monthly Editor
Topps is celebrating UFC’s diversity.
The most famous MMA league brings fighters from around the world to compete in some of the most grueling matches. Topps is bringing back 2103 UFC Bloodlines, highlighting the nationality of these fighters.
There will be 10 mini boxes in one display box of UFC Bloodlines. Each mini box will contain two base cards, one parallel, one insert and one hit. Every display box will offer two relics, two jumbo or dual relics, one manufactured relic, two autographs and two autograph relics. In addition, sketch cards will be offered as hits.
Relic cards will feature fighter-worn shirts or shorts. Also, collectors can find jumbo or dual relic cards that contain Mat Relics.
The Commemorative Relics will use coins created exclusively for 2013 UFC Bloodlines celebrating up to 25 fighters’ heritages.
The autographs will feature more than 30 fighters and any new signers will get a “First Issue” designation. Topps will use four subsets within the autographs along with base signatures, including Global Championship Conflict Dual Autographs that pairs fighters of different national origins who fought for a UFC Championship. Topps will also include booklet autographs and multi-signature.
Autograph Relic Cards are also back. These cards will feature autographs with authentic-worn items.
The base cards will include 150 MMA fighters, including up-and-coming athletes. There will be one parallel in every pack: Flag (numbered to 188), Black (numbered to 88), Ruby Red (numbered to 8) or Platinum (1-of-1).
Inserts will fall at a rate of one per box as well. The inserts will include Bloodlines, a 15-card set highlighting a UFC fighter and their nationality; and UFC Octagon-side, 25 UFC stars on a retro design. These cards will feature three parallels of Black, Ruby Red and Platinum.
Collectors can also get redemptions for uncut sheets of base cards and flag parallels.
UFC Bloodlines is scheduled to come out in early December.
