In 1989 Connie Woods became the first woman to have her own trading card set when she conceptualized, created and founded Bench Warmer Trading Cards. This six card set, produced solely by Miss Woods, was limited to a run of 10,000 sets.

She holds the distinct honor of being "The Original Bench Warmer" and her silhouette in a softball uniform on a bench is the logo for Bench Warmer Trading Cards. [2]

Founded in 1992, Bench Warmer International, Inc. released a second set of Bench Warmer trading cards using its motto "Trading Cards Never Looked So Good".
