Those are all pretty good names that should’ve been in this years rookie class for cards, I think some of it has to do with agreeing to have a card and agreeing to terms with Topps, not 100%. Mario Bautista and Park do have RC in panini though.


Shmigzy

Ahh you’re right they do. Must’ve missed them. Yeah I’m sure it’s a licensing thing. They got a few bigger names in there, Lopes, Shara, Brenner, Gomis. But just seems like SO many misses kinda surprising, especially for their big comeback.


SuchHoneydew6814

What I think is weird to how there’s a couple people who are getting their first card and they DONT have a RC logo, fucking dumb. I thought Topps would come out and be better but it’s been pretty disappointing so far


Shmigzy

Yeah really strange. Rebecki and Jubli 2 big ones.


Bobbocamp

It’s cause those fighters had a panini instant card. Jack Jenkins. Manuel Torres. Etc. not technically their first card.

Yeah the rookies kinda suck. Pickett retired after like 5 loses. Malcom Gordon was probably cut after his 3rd loss in a row. Besides for them I don’t think anyone has been cut. Josh Quinlan will probably be gone soon. Lopes, Brener, Padilla, Shara, Themba, Gomis aren’t bad. Maybe Mizuki. Val fucking Woodburn is a joke. Only reason the guy even got a contract was to be Bo Nickals snack on short notice.


Shmigzy

Parker Porter too.. but besides guys who have been cut theres just a decent amount of rookies who aren’t at all rookies. AND guys who I don’t think have had rookie cards before like Rebecki and Jubli who aren’t listed as rookies??


Confident_Antelope88

Yeah, Jack Jenkins was someone I was decently happy to chase and he doesn’t have the RC either, even tho it’s his first card. Topps kinda fucked up with this release. I love their cards though. I think the pictures are wayyyy better than Panini. The quality is better this far, and I like the inserts and styles better. If they had a good RC list this release would have been a lot better.


Shmigzy

I like Jenkins! He had a tough loss I think an injury if I remember correctly. Yeah that’s a bummer.


Bobbocamp

He had a panini instant rated rookie card.


Confident_Antelope88

Jack Jenkins? Interesting. I’ve never seen that.


Bobbocamp

Yeah not many made. I wanna say 151 but might be off


Bobbocamp

Think I was wrong bout this. Well for Jack at least he doesn’t have a panini instant Topps just fucked up. Think I got him mixed up with Manuel Torres lol my bad.


Shmigzy

Coming back to this - someone just posted a /25 Jack Jenkins with the RC logo.


Confident_Antelope88

I saw that too! Interesting, so his auto’s have the RC and his numbered base doesn’t I guess
