Though only a fresh-faced 21-year-old at the time, Stephen Curry helped make Panini’s push into super-premium high-end basketball cards a success in 2009-10. As the seventh overall selection in the draft, Curry landed among the 38 rookies in the first slate of National Treasures Rookie Patch Autographs—an offering that has become one of the most notable modern basketball cards in the industry. Featuring oversized and often intricate patches along with hard-signed signatures, the first-year NT RPAs provided a sizzling start for what has become the industry’s most coveted basketball release each year. Two parallels covered the 2009-10 Playoff National Treasures rookies leading to cards such as this /25 Century Gold example of Curry’s.
This /25 Century Gold RPA features a three-color, multi-break patch from the “RS” portion of the “WARRIORS” team name across his jersey. Safely secured in a PSA 8.5 holder, just two examples graded by the service have earned a higher mark. A hard-signed PSA Auto 10 signature completes the offering, making for a stunning example of the iconic rookie card that helped establish NT as a reputable high-end brand.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 08/26/2025.
