Stephen Curry's paper Topps rookie is #321, one of the fifteen rookies that close the 330-card 2009-10 Topps set.
It was the last of its line. Topps had made basketball cards every season since 1992-93, and after this one set it made no licensed NBA card until 2025-26. Chrome versions of the rookies, each numbered to 999, came out of the same packs. The paper card is the one with no number on it.
Topps made one more basketball set, and then none for sixteen years.
The photograph is a portrait rather than an action shot. Curry smiles broadly in a plain white T-shirt against a blurred red background,. The red-bordered Rookie Card logo sits at the upper right, the Warriors logo at the lower right, and his name and position are stamped in silver foil on a navy band across the bottom.
Golden State took him seventh that June, out of Davidson. He averaged 17.5 points as a rookie and finished second for Rookie of the Year, behind Tyreke Evans.
The backs are bordered in black, which shows every touch of wear, and counterfeits are known: washed-out color, foil pressed too deep, and a grainy Warriors logo give them away.
