About a month before Stephen Curry’s NBA debut, Upper Deck released the final NBA Exquisite Collection set before Panini’s exclusive trading card license took effect. Twenty-eight rookies landed on the Exquisite Rookie Autograph portion of the checklist. Nine of those players, including a sharpshooting guard from Davidson University named Stephen Curry, are represented twice. Upper Deck secured hard-signed signatures from the draftees but pictured them in their college uniforms on a design that paid homage to the inaugural 2003-04 Exquisite Collection set. With Curry coming up the court in his Davidson Wildcats jersey, collectors get a high-end reminder of his tremendous college career with one of his top rookie cards.
This is one of just 11 copies of the card to receive a Gem Mint PSA 10 assessment.
