The Basics: Each 10-card pack will include one auto or Auto Relic along with a standard Relic and two parallels atop its base cards in this hobby-only release. … The base set will include 100 cards with each having Green (/TBD), Blue (/99), Red (/25) and 1/1 Gold parallels. The Knockout Autographs will spotlight as many as 25 stars with each having Green (/50 or less), Blue (/25), Red (/10) and 1/1 Gold versions in the mix. Fearless Fighter autos will be signed in blue ink, while there also will be Copper (/10) and 1/1 Gold parallels. … New this time around are Tier One autos that also will have Copper (/TBD), Silver (/10) and 1/1 Gold versions. … Auto Relics will include standard Knockout Relics with Green (/TBD), Blue (/25), Red (/10) and 1/1 Gold versions while Fight Glove Auto Relics (with a 1/1 Gold version), Tier One Duals (with Red TBD and 1/1 Gold), Tier One Dual Relic books and UFC Champ auto Relics books also will be found. … The standard Relic lineup is a bit simpler with Knockout Relics (same rainbow of parallels), Fight Mat Relics (Green, Blue, Red and Gold) and Tier One Relics (same rainbow as mats) also to be found.
