2017 Topps UFC Chrome Checklist and Details
It’s hard to imagine that despite having the UFC license for close to a decade, Topps has never done a Chrome MMA set. 2017 Topps UFC Chrome changes that. And with it comes many of the family elements collectors may recognize from Topps Chrome sets in other sports and even entertainment licenses like Star Wars.
Refractors and autographs all play a big part in 2017 Topps UFC Chrome.
Base Set
The 2017 Topps UFC Chrome base set takes on a similar look to Topps’ flagship design from baseball and WWE. The big difference here is that UFC doesn’t have a flagship set, so for strictly MMA collectors, it’s new. Topps hasn’t given an exact size of the base set, however it will include both established, recently debuted and retired fighters.
A key part of any Topps Chrome set are the Refractor parallels. These offer a color take on the regular cards in varying rarities. Refractors aren’t new to UFC. They’ve been used most notably in past Topps UFC Finest releases.
2017 Topps UFC Chrome Refractors are the easiest to find. These have a rainbow finish and fall 1:3 hobby packs. X-Fractors take on a patterened background. These are one per hobby box. Serial numbered Refractors come in Green (/99), Blue Wave (/75), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5) and Superfractor (1/1).
Diamond Refractors are only in special Diamond boxes that are randomly inserted at a rate of one per hobby case. These have one exclusive Diamond Refractor per pack (24 in the box).
Base cards also have Printing Plates. These come in four versions based on the printing process (black, cyan, magenta and yellow), each a one-of-one.
Autographs
Each 2017 Topps UFC Chrome hobby box has a pair of autographs. These bring a similar design as base cards, albeit with on-card signatures.
Refractors play a significant role here, too. They come in Green (/99 or less), Gold (/50 or less), Orange (/25 or less), Black (/10), Red (/5) and Superfractor (1/1). Each hobby case also comes with a special Hot Box Refractor Autograph. These are a third autograph in the box.
Select fighters also have Variation Autographs with no more than ten copies each.
Inserts
Other inserts in 2017 Topps UFC Chrome offered “Chromed” takes on existing sets. UFC Fire, Top of the Class, UFC Museum and UFC Tier 1 all land four per box. Parallels for these come in Refractor (/99), Pulsar Refractor (/50) and Superfractor (1/1) versions. Fire also has Gold Refractors that are numbered to 75.
Select fighters in each insert set have autographs that are limited to five copies.

Cards look great, but with UFC Chrome and MLS Chrome, you’d think after 8 years they’d make a Pro Debut Chrome.
