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.
