Judging by sales of her first WWE card, she\u2019s about 400 percent hotter than Charlotte Flair and nearly 3,000 percent hotter than Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n<p>Topps produced Rousey\u2019s first WWE trading card as part of the company\u2019s Topps Now program. Topps Now basically offers on-demand cards to capture big moments in sports and entertainment. Designs of the cards are revealed and then sold for a 24-hour period for $9.99 each. However many orders are placed in those 24 hours will dictate how many cards are produced.<\/p>\n<p>Rousey\u2019s Topps Now card \u2013 card number 30 so far in 2018 \u2013 sold out at a whopping 1,342 copies. To put that in perspective, Topps sold 414 percent more Topps Now cards of Rousey than Charlotte Flair, who sold 261 copies \u2013 second most of the 19 total Topps Now cards commemorating WWE\u2019s WrestleMania weekend shows.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2018\/04\/pwt_rousey_now_UPDATE.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-58388 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2018\/04\/pwt_rousey_now_UPDATE.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2018\/04\/pwt_rousey_now_UPDATE.png 800w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2018\/04\/pwt_rousey_now_UPDATE-300x291.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2018\/04\/pwt_rousey_now_UPDATE-768x745.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In fact, Topps sold 1,572 total copies combined of the other 18 cards in the set, compared to 1,342 for Rousey alone. The card commemorating Undertaker\u2019s victory over John Cena sold 145 copies. Topps sold 115 copies of Nia Jax\u2019s card, 93 copies of Daniel Bryan\u2019s card and just 44 copies of Lesnar\u2019s card.<\/p>\n<p>Rousey\u2019s debut card is by far the best selling Topps Now WWE card since Topps launched the line in 2016. Alexa Bliss is typically the most popular wrestler in any WWE trading card set and is usually the measuring stick. To give you some idea of how hot the Rousey card is, Bliss\u2019 first Topps Now card, released in 2016, sold 180 copies. The 2017 card commemorating Bliss\u2019 first Raw Women\u2019s Title victory over Bayley sold 223 copies.<\/p>\n<p>There are several factors that play into the success of Rousey\u2019s debut WWE card. This was her first card, whereas established stars like Bliss, Undertaker, Lesnar and AJ Styles have plenty of cards. Also, Rousey is a crossover star, and it\u2019s very possible that several copies were purchased by non-wrestling fans. From about 2012 to 2015, Rousey\u2019s trading cards were hotter than just about any other athlete\u2019s cards.<\/p>\n<p>More information about Topps Now WWE cards can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topps.com\/collectibles\/trading-cards\/wwe-topps-now.html\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.topps.com\/collectibles\/trading-cards\/wwe-topps-now.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1523765912664000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHO-tltWmMHcUzc3lqQ7_JE007_Tg\">https:\/\/www.topps.com\/collectibles\/trading-cards\/wwe-topps-now.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THE PRIOR COLUMN:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/04\/11\/collectibles-column-topps-releases-rouseys-first-wwe-card\/\">COLLECTIBLES COLUMN: Topps Releases Rousey\u2019s First WWE Card<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3368181440\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>PWTorch Collectibles Specialist Michael Moore can be reached at\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"mailto:michaelmoorewriter@gmail.com\"><i>michaelmoorewriter@gmail.com<\/i><\/a><i>.
