2013 Topps Bloodlines RC:

The greatest women's mixed martial artist of all time.

Is that card yours? If it is question does it have a manufacturer defect on the bottom left corner? Mine seems to have it.

Edit - I mean on the back. It seems like it's bent but it's not. I have seen a few with this issue now I'm trying to find out if it's a manufacturer defect and how rare it is to find one without it.

Mahomie · 11-23-2021, 04:48 AM

Yeah, I've definitely seen some (including mine in the scan above) with a slightly flared corner - seems to be an issue with other cards from that set, as well.

Here's the back of PSA 9 copy (this one isn't mine, just pulled it from ebay), and it has the same slightly flared appearance on that back bottom left corner:

Edit: Here's the back of a BGS 9.5 - harder to see with the white background, but the back bottom left corner is also slightly flared.

Blessed! Mine is beautiful except for the corner so maybe it will grade well. Thank you!

Nice, definitely give us an update if/when you get a grade back.

100percent will do!

Tough loss last night, but congrats to Pena for a well-deserved victory.

Very curious to see how the Lioness comes back from this one. She's left an amazing legacy already, but now into her 13th year, I wonder if she'll focus on one weight class going forward.

Chris P · 02-20-2022, 04:00 PM

Got an auto of her as one of my two autos from the Panini UFC Club. Numbered to 20

Mahomie · 04-10-2022, 09:38 PM

^nice

YayNJ · 04-19-2022, 06:44 AM

Pena is going to do her again..

Mahomie · 08-20-2022, 12:49 AM

G.O.A.T.

Picked this up before her last fight:

Keeping it in the HGA slab, too.

YayNJ · 08-28-2022, 04:27 PM

so would I... 8.5 surface with those, I'd dare not put it though anyone else

epatmythes · 09-01-2022, 10:07 AM

These guys still want pandemic prices, man! Just being patient for now.

Mahomie · 03-19-2025, 07:23 PM

Man, shout out to the seller who finally accepted my bid.

PuddleMonkey · 03-19-2025, 08:12 PM

Very nice!

Mahomie · 03-20-2025, 08:41 PM

thanks dawg, patience is a virtue

Mahomie · 04-01-2025, 10:48 PM

No disrespect to Holly, but this image is iconic.

Kaboom!

PuddleMonkey · 04-02-2025, 07:39 PM

I didn't even know they had kabooms for ufc.

Yeah, probably... but the issue is that 3rd word there.

Nunez was cool... one of the few women who could finish most fights from what I saw.
Her and cyborg were tough sells as they weren't at all feminine... Rousey and Tate were inferior fighters yet sold better (WWE cute girl aspect?).

Life's just too short to watch women's sports imo... it's like watching high school level for that sport (boring, unless it's family/friends playing in it).
I don't get womens pro sports... most ppl don't (statistically).
Rousey was definitely a big push for a bit, but they still needed co-main events to sell her PPVs.
WNBA is getting pushed super hard right now, and it's not working. ESPN/Disney will lose a lot of $$ there.

There is a reason they have the women UFC fights on same PPVs and event lists as the mens:
Nobody would watch the women otherwise (all women PPV or fight nights). Correction: barely anybody would watch. I would not.

Derp. Ronda Rousey was a huge draw. The fact women’s fights twice co-headlined her PPVs also disproves your point.
