Ilia Topuria 2022 Panini Select UFC Mezzanine #320: the base card and every parallel
Mezzanine #320 is Ilia Topuria's card in the Blaster tier of 2022 Panini Select UFC, from his rookie year, and here it is in every colour: we have catalogued 6 versions, from the base to the Black 1/1. 6 have a photo of the actual copy.
Front: both arms raised and his mouth open, in red shorts, with the RC logo at the top right; at the bottom, his name, “Featherweight” and the UFC logo.
Three tiers, three numbers: in the same product he is also Concourse #23 and Octagonside #262. He is not in Premier Level (#101 to #200).
Why Mezzanine is the Blaster tier
The Blaster box listing says so: “Blaster Exclusive Base Set Mezzanine”, with Prizm parallels “numbered as low as 1”, per the Blowout Cards listing (a secondary source, archived copy).
Blaster box: 6 packs of 4 cards, with 6 inserts or Prizm parallels per box, per the same listing.
The Hobby sell sheet does not name it: Panini's official sell sheet talks about three base sets (Concourse, Premier Level and Octagonside) and calls the Gold and Black Prizms Hobby exclusives. That the Mezzanine Gold and Black come from Blasters is what the box listing says, not Panini.
The #320 ladder, from most to fewest copies
Print runs from Panini's official checklist, which match our copies. Panini published no odds. It is the shortest ladder of his three 2022 Select numbers:
Unnumbered: the base and the Silver Prizm.
Numbered: Tie-Dye /25, Gold /10 and Green /5.
The one-off: the Black 1/1.
Complete: the six rungs of the official checklist are all on our list. Mezzanine has no Disco, Flash, animal prints or Cracked Ice.
Worth knowing
The same colour is not the same card: Tie-Dye /25, Gold /10, Green /5 and Black 1/1 also exist in Concourse and Octagonside, with the same printed run and a different tier.
