Delayed from its original December release date, 2015 Topps UFC Chronicles hit store shelves earlier this month in a jumbo box format.
The product was designed to tell the story of UFC from the beginning, through its base sets as well as some of the autograph and relic cards.
Chronicles boxes contain a whopping 400 cards. While there are 30 inserts, 50 parallels and five autograph or relic cards per box, this is really a product for the set aficionado. At 300 cards, it’s the largest UFC base set Topps has ever done.
A full checklist for the product is linked below the video at the bottom of the page as Mike Fruitman offers his box break and review.
