Amanda Nunes Cards: Collect the GOAT of Women's MMA

The Legacy in Cardboard

Simultaneous bantamweight and featherweight champion. Historic victories over Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, Valentina Shevchenko, and Holly Holm — each of those names dominant in her own right, and Nunes defeated them all, often emphatically. Amanda Nunes retired as the undisputed greatest female mixed martial artist of all time, and the completeness of that resume is what gives her cards a structural floor that most combat sports names cannot approach. That level of supremacy creates what collectors call GOAT premium pricing: built-in value support that holds regardless of market cycles.

Her retirement has added a finality to her legacy that makes her key cards feel like closed-chapter collectibles with a clear historical floor. Collectors are not speculating on what Nunes might do next — they are collecting around the definitive women's MMA career. That clarity is attractive to both combat sports historians who want to own a piece of the legacy and women's sports card collectors who see Nunes as the standard-bearer of a growing market.

Definitive Cards in the Collection

2013 Topps UFC Bloodlines (RC) — The primary Nunes rookie card and the most important card in women's MMA collecting. This card comes from an era of modest UFC production, making high-grade copies genuinely scarce. PSA 10 examples command strong premiums relative to the women's MMA market.

Panini Prizm UFC and Select UFC — Prizm and Select offer more recent options with silver and color parallels that provide modern production quality. Numbered variations are the high-end tier, with low-numbered runs under /25 considered the strongest long-term cards.

Topps UFC Finest Autographs — On-card autograph inserts from the Finest line represent the top tier of the Nunes market. These combine a verified signature with the prestige of a premium product line, making them the anchor pieces for serious collectors.

What Moves the Market

Watch for legacy moments — Hall of Fame induction discussions, anniversary milestones of historic fights, and comparisons drawn when current fighters attempt to match her achievements. Those are the events that bring renewed attention to Nunes cards. Women's MMA milestones — such as new champions emerging or records being challenged — often bring collectors back to her cards as the benchmark against which all others are measured. Each of these moments is a window when demand rises.

The limited supply of early Topps UFC products from her era means that high-grade copies of her key cards become harder to find over time as they settle into permanent collections. That tightening supply, combined with the built-in demand from her GOAT status, creates a market where prices tend to step up after each legacy moment rather than retreating fully to previous levels.

Track the Legacy on Mantel

Nunes retired as the undisputed GOAT of women's MMA, which means her card market is a legacy play pursued by a small, knowledgeable group of collectors who understand exactly what they own. The community on Mantel is where that group gathers — collectors who can explain why the 2013 Topps Bloodlines RC is the single most important card in women's MMA, who track how Hall of Fame discussions and anniversary milestones bring renewed attention, and who understand the supply dynamics of early Topps UFC products that most casual buyers overlook. Connecting with collectors who share that depth of knowledge is the edge in a niche market where mainstream pricing data tells only part of the story. Real-time listings from eBay and Fanatics Collect flow into one searchable feed so you can monitor the entire Nunes market in one place. SLAM scores measure actual sales velocity, price trends, and trading activity to show whether demand on a specific card is genuine. Comps reveal what Nunes cards are actually selling for rather than inflated asking prices, and Wish List alerts notify you the moment a target card appears at your price.

Nunes's GOAT status is settled, and her cards carry the weight of that certainty. Start your collection by browsing live listings, checking SLAM scores and comps, and joining the small community of collectors who are preserving the most dominant career in women's combat sports history.
