Why this card matters
Nemkov's first trading card, arriving on July 18, 2025 — five years after he took the Bellator light heavyweight title off Ryan Bader and two years after his last Bellator title defence. Bellator had no card licensee for the whole of his championship run, so the entire Bader/Davis/Anglickas/Anderson/Romero era exists only in this retrospective Season Ticket slot. He is listed as a heavyweight, reflecting the PFL move rather than the division he actually ruled.
Identification

- Card #16 in the 100-card Season Ticket base checklist
- Nameplate reads 'VADIM NEMKOV' with 'HEAVYWEIGHT' as the division, not Light Heavyweight
- Contenders 'ticket stub' base design; the unnumbered Silver is the common parallel, so an unnumbered card with no colour flood is the plain base
- Serial-numbered tiers are stamped on the front ticket panel
