Also with more than 50 homemade laminated cards with reproductions of the female participants, 3 black-and-white photographs, and 5 bout cards, listing the opponents and their weights.

They are nearly always dressed in bikinis and in several the Amazon signage is visible; about 10 photographs include a male figure (at least one of these from the company Golden Girls).
