Roy sits in the six-card /99 rookie summit and gives 2006-07 much of its immediate star power. Cardboard Connection's all-time Exquisite rookie ranking places him at #11, which helps explain why seasoned collectors do not treat this year as a dead zone between stronger headline classes.

Rondo is the card that keeps seasoned collectors from dismissing the /225 continuation as mere filler. Cardboard Connection ranks his 2006-07 Exquisite rookie at #8 all time and explicitly calls it the underrated Exquisite rookie, which gives this part of the checklist real long-term significance.

As card #43, Bargnani opens the six-card /99 rookie summit that gives 2006-07 its premium rookie ceiling. The TCDB checklist also preserves the release's careful memorabilia notation, a small archival detail that matters when documenting the set faithfully.
