Which Stephen Curry card is the real rookie card

Curry's 2009-10 rookie season was a transition year: it was the last NBA-licensed season for both Upper Deck and Topps and the first for Panini (including its Playoff brands), so he has licensed RCs from all three. There was no standalone Topps Chrome product that year; his Topps Chrome #101 was a serial-numbered insert (/999) inside flagship Topps packs. His best-known autographed RCs are Panini-made, led by the 2009-10 Playoff National Treasures #206 rookie patch autograph (/99), plus Upper Deck's Exquisite Collection #64 autograph (/225).

Grading Stephen Curry cards

A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) or BGS 9.5 is the top grade most collectors look for; it means sharp corners, clean edges, centered printing and an unmarked surface. A graded card and a raw one are different cards to look up.

How to identify your Stephen Curry card and check what it sold for

Find the year and maker on the back of your Stephen Curry card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.

Check Stephen Curry rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
