Ilia Topuria 2025 Topps Finest UFC Rare #241: the base card and every parallel
Card #241 of 2025 Topps Finest UFC is Ilia Topuria's Rare, the scarcest tier of the base set, and here it is in full: we have catalogued 12 versions of that number, from the base to the Superfractor 1/1, with the print run of every colour. 11 have a photo of the actual copy.
Ilia Topuria is #241 in the base set of 2025 Topps Finest UFC, in the Rare tier, per the official Topps checklist, between Vitor Petrino and Conor McGregor. This page does not repeat the set page: it gathers the whole rainbow of that number.
Front: Ilia Topuria in a white UFC shirt, on Finest's chrome circuit-board background; under the name, “Lightweight”.
Back: above the name, “RARE”. The text traces his road to the title: a debut unanimous-decision win over Youssef Zalal, three KO/TKOs in a row, Bryce Mitchell by arm triangle, Josh Emmett by unanimous decision and the title shot against Alexander Volkanovski, whom he dropped in the second round, per the photographed back of our copy.
Common, Uncommon and Rare: the three tiers of the 2025 Finest base set
Topps describes the 2025 Finest UFC base set as 300 tiered cards in its official guide: Common (1 to 100), Uncommon (101 to 200) and Rare (201 to 300), per the official checklist. The tier is printed on the back, above the name: “COMMON”, “UNCOMMON” or “RARE”.
Ilia Topuria has one card in each tier: Common #43, Uncommon #115 and Rare #241. The #241 has the fewest copies in every colour.
Topps published no odds for 2025 Finest UFC: neither the guide nor the checklist give pull rates and we have found no odds sheet. What sets the tiers apart is how many come per box: Checklist Insider, a secondary source, describes the Hobby box as 34 Commons, 6 Uncommons and 2 Rares.
Which box it comes from
2025 Finest UFC was released on 7 November 2025, in Hobby boxes only: 6 packs of 10 cards, 8 boxes per case, per the official Topps guide. With no Mega or Value boxes, the checklists with print runs carry none of the Shimmers or Glitters that were exclusive to those boxes in 2024.
With 2 Rares per box and a hundred in the tier, the #241 base turns up on average in one of every 50 Hobby boxes, about six cases. Our estimate from the box contents given by the secondary source, assuming an even split; without odds, no estimate is possible for the parallels.
