2025 Topps NOW UFC Mauricio Ruffy Santos #8 Rookie PSA 10

This is my favorite kind of prospecting bet: a true rookie card of a fighter who is all finishes, in a gem mint slab, bought before the crowd catches up. The 2025 Topps NOW captures Ruffy landing a spinning heel kick knockout, which is exactly the highlight reel violence that makes the UFC card market move.

Topps NOW print runs are tied to a short demand window, so the gem mint pop stays naturally thin. If he keeps starching people, this looks cheap in hindsight. I watch his pop on PSA and track sales on 130point. I went bigger on him with the Chrome case hit elsewhere in my collection, and I wrote out the whole reason I am holding him long term in my Mauricio Ruffy steel man case.
