This Stephen Curry rookie Black parallel, which pays tribute to Bowman's inaugural basketball release, is, arguably, one of the most condition sensitive card from 2009-10. The card's delicate front borders and corner tips are almost always plagued by wear, making top-condition copies tough to find.
Coming from one of Topps' final NBA products prior to Panini taking over the license, 2009-10 Bowman '48 was a hobby-exclusive product. Cards were modelled after 1948 Bowman Basketball using a minimalist design. Numbered /48, Black is Curry's rarest parallel in the product other than 1/1 Red and four different 1/1 Printing Plates.
This NM-MT 8 is a pop 1 in the PSA registry with just one copy ranking higher.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 02/16/2026.
