Stephen Curry's 2009-10 Upper Deck card is #234, a short-printed Star Rookie that fell about once in sixteen packs.

The card names the Warriors. The photograph is from Davidson.

The set ran to 295 cards. Star Rookies #201 through #225 came about one to a pack; #226 through #240 were printed in shorter supply; the Immortals filled out the rest. It was Upper Deck's last flagship basketball set made under an NBA license.

The card names the Warriors, but the photograph is from college. Curry is in Davidson's red road uniform, number 30, dribbling low with his left hand on a bright hardwood floor. STAR ROOKIES runs in capitals across the bottom beside the NBA Rookie Card emblem, the Warriors logo sits in a blue box at the corner, and the word Guard is printed under his name.

He was a junior who had led the country in scoring when Golden State took him seventh. A First Edition version of the card looks much the same but is numbered #196.

Beckett notes that, for a short print, it is not an especially hard card to find.
