UFC boss Dana White has some of the most expensive trading cards in the world, and his collection is worth over a whopping $1 million.
Collectibles are an extremely popular thing amongst fans in the sporting world as it gives fans the chance to sometimes own a piece of history.
And just like many others, UFC boss Dana White is an avid collector of sports trading cards and last year the UFC even signed an exclusive multi-year deal with Topps, bringing UFC cards back to the market.
Dana White shows off $1 million mega collection
Since striking a new deal with Topps, White often opens UFC packs on his Instagram on Fridays and subsequently gives cards away to fans.
Not only that, but he has also been involved in some pack opening battles and even did one a few weeks ago at International Fight Week.
During a recent livestream with the Nelk Boys, the UFC boss showed off some of the most expensive cards in his collection, which are on display in his office at the UFC Performance Institute in Vegas.
“So, I started being a card collector now, so back in the day you’d put your cards in a safe somewhere, now they’ve built these safes where you can actually display them.
“That’s a (Michael) Jordan rookie card right there, the Tom Brady refractor, there’s only seven of these that exist in the world. We’ve got Tiger (Woods), Kobe (Bryant), I’ve got two Puka (Nacua) cards, one here, one here.
“Either the Jordan rookie or the Tom Brady card (are the most expensive). If Jordan signed that card it’s worth $5 million. It’s $400k without the signature. (The total of all of these) is over $1 million,” he continued.
Ilia Topuria trading card breaks record for most expensive UFC card ever
Although White’s collection is worth in excess of $1 million, he didn’t show off any UFC cards in his display case.
After Ilia Topuria knocked Charles Oliveira unconscious at UFC 317 on June 28, he proved his UFC star power when a 1/1 rookie card of his sold for $101,000, breaking the record for the most expensive UFC card ever.
