Why this card matters
The first Dakota Ditcheva card of any kind, and the one that disproves the idea that PFL had no card partner before 2025. Panini's print-to-order Instant line covered the 2024 PFL season as it happened, and her 2 August 2024 semi-final TKO got a card within days of the fight — almost a year before the pack-issued Contenders release the archive previously called her first.

- Card #5 in the 44-card set TCDB catalogues as 2024-25 Panini Instant PFL
- Print run 129, printed on the card in Panini Instant's '1 of 129' style
- Front carries the event line for the 2 August 2024 PFL card and her TKO win
- Print-to-order: sold only for a short window after the event, so it never appeared in packs
- Card #10 in the same set is Michelle Montague, not Ditcheva — a point of confusion in listings
