ABOUT
The website was created to serve as resource guide for those collecting Mixed Martial Arts and determining the True' Rookie Cards and 1st Autograph trading cards.
There is not one perfect way for defining what is and isn’t a true rookie card. What some collectors might consider to be a true rookie card, others would not. So, in the case of this database please refer to our definitions below:
"TRUE" ROOKIE CARD - 5 Point Checklist
FIRST: The first released official MMA trading card of the fighter.
BASE CARD: The be considered a “True Rookie” the card must be a base card from a given major MMA set, not an insert, redemption, print to order card or other “special” card.
If a fighter has multiple cards, his plain or normal base card will be determined as the “rookie” card over subset entries.
LICENSED: The trading card set is licensed by the Mixed martial Arts promotion company.
MAJOR: The fighter’s card is issued by a major card company, as opposed to small, niche, or even unlicensed brands.
NATIONALLY DISTRIBUTED: Widely distributed and easily available.
