Best Asuka Card?
 

Asuka is far and away my favorite wrestler, but I don't have any cards of hers (I don't have any wrestling cards at all, actually).

What are her best cards? I know the autographed kiss card is very hard to find. What about for a rookie? I've seen a few different cards called her RC in various 2016 topps products. Which is best?

Also, I'd prefer something graded. It doesn't have to be, but I Just like graded cards.

I would just get any of her autographs preferably a low numbered parallel version.

Are you only trying to get one and be done or really start a collection because if you like her so much (very warranted btw ;) ) I take it you would want at least one version of all of her notable cards. Of course you have a lot of catching up to do if that is the case but that just means you have lots of things to check off (which is kind of fun/but pricey).

As for graded cards you could probably do that after you buy them otherwise the market will be much smaller since I don't see many graded cards on eBay/etc.

I mostly collect basketball cards. I have some Asuka memorabilia but not all of it applies to me. I'm not sure if I want the kiss card although I know it's a big chase card. Feels kind of strange to me personally but no judgment if anyone else is into it. It's a super novel idea for a card.

I think I'd just like to start with one high tier card of hers and then I'll see about building a collection from there.

Her Japanese cards pre-date her WWE cards, under the ring name Kana. Her first card is 2004 BBM True Heart. She has a few very rare BBM insert cards, as well as various BBM autograph cards.

I have a bbm auto of hers from 2014 bbm that is a blue ink message variation given out at an official bbm shop. You got one of those in a mystery package for each box you bought. Unnumbered but have the bbm embossed seal. Each wrestler in the set only signed 3.

Here is a composite image of her Japanese BBM base cards.

First basic flagship and auto (NXT in main set) couple years ago and first Undisputed ink came to mind first.

The Topps Now Online Exclusive cards are great alternatives to standard pack releases.

I would always prefer BBM. Earlier cards and she signs her real name.

BBM all the way only thing that will hold real true value it wasn't made like how Topps makes cards
