The rookie

Rookie card

2011 Finest UFC #2

Poirier's rookie, released the year of his UFC debut (UFC 125, Jan 1, 2011) and pictured in his 'Headrush' featherweight days. The front carries a 'DEBUT' tag, and it has the full 2011 Finest refractor ladder.

Commonly misidentified

The A-DP autograph is sold as a 'rookie auto'. It's from his rookie year but isn't RC-flagged. SportsCardsPro marks Moment of Truth #194 'Is Rookie Card: No', which doesn't match TCDB's RC flag.

Dustin Poirier's rookie card: 2011 Finest UFC #2 — Dustin Poirier.

TCDB flags two 2011 Poirier cards RC: Finest #2 and Moment of Truth #194. MMA Rookies names Finest #2 his 'True Rookie Card' and lists Moment of Truth #194 as an 'other rookie'. Moment of Truth released Nov 30, 2011 (Cardboard Connection). TCDB lists no Poirier cards before 2011, so his WEC stint has no cards.
