Why this card matters
Her first card of any kind, and a landmark for the whole women's/Strikeforce side of the hobby: Moment of Truth (released 30 November 2011) was the first UFC-licensed set Topps allowed Strikeforce fighters into, alongside Cris Cyborg, Gilbert Melendez and Robbie Lawler. Tate was the reigning Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion at the time, four months after submitting Marloes Coenen, and had no licensed cardboard until this set.

Disputed
Not the rookie designation — MMA Rookies and Cardboard Connection both land on this card. What the sources disagree on is the parallels: Cardboard Connection's product review lists Gold, Onyx /188, Ruby /8, Diamond 1/1 and Printing Plates 1/1; its Tate player page describes them as 'Gold, Black, Red and Diamond'; SportsCardsPro's variant labels read base, Gold, Independence Edition, Onyx and Ruby. The set-level list from the product review is the one recorded here.
