Which A'ja Wilson card is the real rookie card

Wilson's rookie year was 2018, before Panini's first standalone WNBA release in 2019; WNBA cards in those years came from Rittenhouse. Her rookie-year cards are in the 2018 Rittenhouse WNBA factory set (110 cards plus two autographs per box, 500 boxes), where base #48 is misprinted on the checklist as Las Vegas Fever. Her 2019 Donruss WNBA cards are veteran cards, not Rated Rookies. The fetched pages do not state Rittenhouse's license terms, so the license field is left open for those rows.
