Why this is the earliest card
2015 Topps UFC Champions #15, released 28 October 2015, is the earliest Jedrzejczyk card this research could verify in any product, licensed MMA or otherwise. Topps' three 2014 UFC releases were each checked against a checklist and none includes her: Knockout (released 16 May 2014, before her UFC debut), Champions (17 September 2014) and Bloodlines (17 December 2014). The market calls #15 her rookie — eBay listings carry '(RC)' — but no source consulted shows an RC logo on the card or an RC flag in a database record, and SportsCardsPro's structured field for it reads 'Is Rookie Card: No'. So it is recorded as her earliest card rather than a designated rookie card.
The starting point of Joanna Jedrzejczyk's card history. Topps skipped her through all three of its 2014 UFC products even though she debuted in the UFC in July 2014, so nothing exists before this: the 2015 Topps UFC Champions base set, released 28 October 2015, is where the first Polish UFC champion finally appears on cardboard, seven months into a title reign that ran to five defences. Because the print run is a standard Topps base card and she is card #15 of 200, raw copies are common; the chased versions are the numbered parallels.
Sources disagree on whether her first card is a rookie card at all. eBay listings and dealers call 2015 Topps UFC Champions #15 her RC; SportsCardsPro's data field says it is not; Collectibles.com says she 'debuted as a Rookie in 2015' while its Rookie Cards module lists 2021 Panini Chronicles UFC White Sparkle parallels.
Sellers occasionally advertise the 2021 Panini Prizm UFC #180 or 2021 Panini Chronicles UFC cards as rookies because they are from Panini's first licensed UFC year. Her cards start in 2015.
