Why this card matters

Rutten's first licensed card, printed in Japan while he was King of Pancrase and fourteen years before the Topps card the hobby usually calls his first. BBM's pro wrestling line opens in 1995 and covers the Japanese promotions of the day, Pancrase among them; #114 sits in a 241-card base set. A Rutten collection now starts here rather than at 2009 Topps UFC Round 2 #51.

Identification

Own this card? Contribute a scan.

  • Card number 114 in the 241-card 1995 BBM Pro Wrestling base set
  • Japanese-language back; BBM (Baseball Magazine Sha) is the issuer, not a US manufacturer
  • Rutten is carded here as a Pancrase fighter — this predates his UFC run by four years
  • Not the same as the dedicated BBM Pancrase issues that follow: #183 in the 1996 set, #133 in 1997 and #P19 in 1998 BBM Pancrase Hybrid Wrestling
  • No rookie logo is printed on the card; graded holders and listings that call it a rookie are using hobby convention, not a manufacturer designation
03

Disputed

Sources disagree

No published manufacturer checklist for the 1995 BBM Pro Wrestling set has been located, so the card number rests on catalogue entries (COMC, Cardbase) and graded-copy listings rather than a printed checklist. Whether a card from a hybrid-wrestling promotion counts as an MMA card rather than a pro-wrestling card is a question of classification, not of evidence.
