Alright, let’s talk about something I got into recently – collecting 2024 Topps UFC cards. I’ve always been a big UFC fan, and when I heard about these cards, I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
So, first thing I did was to get my hands on a few packs. I went to a local shop that sells sports cards, and they had a bunch of different UFC card sets. But I was there for the 2024 Topps Chrome UFC, since I heard they’re pretty sought after. Grabbed a few packs, and I was pumped to see what I’d get. They had the standard set with about 300 cards, featuring various classes for different fighters and rookies. And of course, there were autographs, parallels, and inserts to look out for.
When I got home, I started opening the packs. It was like Christmas morning, but with more adrenaline. The base set was pretty cool. I got some of my favorite fighters, which was a good start. But the real excitement was pulling a couple of autographs. I mean, these are signatures from actual UFC fighters, which is just wild to think about. I did not have any idea how valuable it is, just collected them in case I will get into it.
- Autographs: Got a few, including some up-and-coming fighters.
- Parallels: These are rarer versions of the base cards, and I managed to snag a few of them.
- Inserts: These are special cards with unique designs, and they added some nice variety to the collection.
After sorting through everything, I realized I had a decent start to my collection. But then I started wondering about the value of these cards. So, I did some digging online. Turns out, the most valuable ones are usually autographed or have a low serial number. And if they’re graded PSA 10, that’s like hitting the jackpot. I learned that some of the older Topps UFC cards from around 2008 are pretty valuable, especially the ones with autographs.
Now, I didn’t get any PSA 10s, but I was still pretty happy with what I pulled. I decided to keep going with this, maybe attend a few card shows or trade with other collectors. It’s a fun hobby, and it connects me even more with the sport I love.
So, that’s my story about getting into 2024 Topps UFC cards. It’s been a blast so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this collecting journey takes me. Who knows, maybe I’ll pull a super rare card one day. Until then, I’ll keep enjoying the thrill of the hunt.
My Tips for New Collectors
- Start small: Don’t feel like you need to buy a ton of packs right away.
- Do your research: Learn about the different types of cards and their potential value.
- Connect with others: There’s a whole community of collectors out there, and they can be a great resource.
- Have fun: Collecting should be enjoyable, so don’t stress too much about it.
That’s all for now, folks. Happy collecting!
