Player profile
Stephen Curry is the central reason 2009-10 Exquisite still matters to serious collectors. The full TCDB rookie spine places him in both the AU/RC core at #64 and the autograph-only continuation at #72, and the player-numbered Rookie Parallel branch reinforces that the final NBA release still knew how to build scarcity around a major rookie.

Listed on the Beckett 2009-10 checklist as part of the Rookie Gold Rainbow branch. The Beckett checklist makes clear that the final rookie class still has player-specific scarcity logic, which is a major part of why 2009 cannot be read as a generic late-run set. Beckett rookie notation: AU, RC.

The player-numbered Rookie Parallel is one of the most important structural details in the 2009 set because it gives the final-year rookie line a subject-specific scarcity layer. Curry at /31 is a strong example of that collector texture.

Stephen Curry is the most important reason the final NBA Exquisite release cannot be dismissed as a mere epilogue. The card is not a classic NBA patch autograph, but it is a source-backed Curry autograph inside the 37-card /225 rookie spine, and that alone gives 2009-10 lasting collector gravity.

Card #72 is part of the autograph-only continuation at the end of the 2009 rookie run. It matters because it shows the final-year rookie structure is not random; the set intentionally extends its autograph rookies beyond the RC-marked portion of the checklist.
