Up for sale is an absolutely beautiful Ronda Rousey Rookie Fighter Relic card. #FR-RR (Fighter Relic-Ronda Rousey) serial numbered 086/188. The red fighter worn relic piece is stunning and matches perfectly with the aesthetic of the Bloodlines set. It really pops with splash of color.
The Historical Significance: A Pre-UFC Rookie. The Strikeforce Crossover: Although released by Topps under the official UFC banner, this card captures Ronda Rousey right as the UFC was absorbing its sister-promotion, Strikeforce.
The photo on the front features her in her classic Strikeforce-era gear rather than the standard UFC Reebok/Venum kits of later years.
True Rookie Status: Released on November 14, 2012, this is part of Rousey's absolute first officially licensed trading card checklist. Because it dropped before her historic UFC debut against Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 (February 2013), it is heavily sought after as a cornerstone "true rookie" piece.
A real chance to add a rare card from one of the true icons of the sport, these are getting harder and harder to find. Please understand this is from my personal collection and has been stored for years, you’re buying as is.
Please review the high-resolution photos provided to judge the exact condition of the corners, edges, and surface before purchasing, as I’m no grader or expert.
I initially thought there might be a small blemish on the back down by the Topps logo, I ran my finger across it from multiple angles, I have a microscope I use for my cards, and I personally think it’s just the white of the card backing. As in the finish of the back has some white. It doesn’t feel or look like the classic “chipping” you see on older relic thick cards, in my opinion.
Nonetheless you can see all that for yourself, I took photos of this spec from different lights and angles, but I think it’s just the card finish/design myself.
I’m just trying to make some room in my collection, it’s time to get this to someone else to enjoy.
Will ship well protected, inside of a proper thick card sleeve and proper thick card toploader, wrapped in a toploader team bag inside more foam wrapping and lastly with some ding defends inside a bubble mailer via Ground Advantage.
Thanks for looking.
