Brainstorming ideas ...

[windmortal]

Time to get on the peeps at Topps about some innovations to the MMA card industry ...

People think they've done it all now with Bruce Buffer cards, mouthpieces and fans of the sport autographs, but we need to help push the envelope ... Let's get a thread going about what we'd like to see in upcoming Topps products ...

Who has the good ideas ....

Maybe fight worn pieces of shorts?

Thing about the 'fight worn' is that most of it isn't, or wouldn't be ... They just use fabric from where ever on those pieces ... they say it could be training gear or walk-around stuff ... Who really knows?

[poir420]

Well true but I guess it's the same as fight mat relics....they say it's from the event but who knows just kind of have to trust topps I guess. Who knows half the autographs could be signed by someone else too!

[windmortal]

I think there have been cases where fighters came out and said it wasn't their signature on some cards ... I think Cerrone was one ... Now, don't know if he was talking about Leaf or Topps, but I remember something along those lines. Anyone have any info about that?

[poir420]

Yeah pretty sure Jerminate had some of the Topps Cerrone cards. I'm not sure the issue was ever resolved but Cerrone had tweeted that it wasn't his autograph.

Remember the old SportsFlix motion cards? With today's technology, i bet they could do something like those ... a subset of the 20 greatest Knock outs ....

Jumbo Fight Banner Cards - Use the banners that the fighters hang in their corner during Buffer's intro... Lots of words, logos, colors, etc. Perhaps the fighters might be a little more willing to part with them compared to actual fight worn gear?

[windmortal]

Sponsors get dibs on those if I'm not mistaking ...

How about a 1/1 full card auto with everyone fighting on a card book card or even a box topper with an auto from every fighter on a jumbo mat relic?
