Why this is the rookie

TCDB flags 2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines #63 RC, and it is the only Nunes card TCDB lists for 2013, the earliest year she has cards. Topps Ripped features its Brazilian flag parallel as her earliest card. She has no Strikeforce or Invicta-era cards, so there's no pre-UFC question.

Nunes' only card of 2013, released (per TCDB) on December 13, 2013, four months after her UFC 163 debut, and it prints a 'DEBUT' tag on both sides of the nameplate. TCDB flags it RC, and Topps' own Ripped feature uses the Brazilian flag parallel of #63 as her early-career pick. It's in the same set as Conor McGregor's #139 rookie.

Commonly misidentified

Flag, Black and Red parallels of #63 are sometimes listed as the base rookie. Check for the serial number and the flag background. The 2014 KA-AN '1st Autograph' is sometimes sold as a 'rookie auto'.
