2007-08
Draft Picks Reservation is one of the most distinctive things about late-run 2007 Exquisite: a 12-card bridge into the next draft class that lets the set preview 2008 rookies before the 2008-09 release arrives.

Rose's #92 /99 is the headline card of 2008-09 Exquisite and the clearest reason the release still carries real late-run gravity. The broader checklist matters too, but this is the card that makes the year's rookie story immediately legible to serious collectors.

Westbrook's #93 /225 is one of the strongest arguments for treating 2008 as more than a Rose-only year. Cardboard Connection ranks it sixth among Exquisite basketball rookies, which gives the set a serious second flagship in collector terms.
