About the Database
The website was created to celebrate the accomplishments of women in the Mixed Martial Arts and to serve as resource guide for those collecting their Rookie Cards and 1st Autograph trading cards.
There is not one perfect way for conveying 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:
