TCDB documents Durant at card #94 in the four-card /99 summit of the 2007 rookie autograph-memorabilia structure. That matters because it gives the late-run set a true flagship rather than a generic star rookie, and Cardboard Connection's all-time Exquisite rookie ranking puts the card at #2 overall.

Durant's Limited Logos card is one of the clearest reasons 2007-08 feels like a real Exquisite insert year and not only a rookie-card checkpoint.

The Year One Autographs lane proves the 2007 rookie story doesn't stop at the base checklist. Durant's /10 version gives the year a second serious rookie-autograph landmark outside card #94.
