2009-10
Tyreke Evans is one of the names that stops 2009 from collapsing into a two-player Curry-Blake memory. His RC-only /225 card is a useful reminder that the final-year rookie ladder is broader than the autograph subjects alone.

2009-10
Blake Griffin opens the 2009 rookie run at card #43 and helps explain the final-year structure immediately: the closing NBA Exquisite release is still serious, but it is no longer built around one uniform NBA patch-autograph formula. Griffin's RC-only /225 card is part of what makes the year feel different from 2003 through 2008.

2009-10
Jennings belongs to the early part of the 2009 rookie spine and helps the class feel contemporary to its moment rather than purely retrospective through Curry and Harden.

Stephen Curry is the most important reason the final NBA Exquisite release cannot be dismissed as a mere epilogue. The card is not a classic NBA patch autograph, but it is a source-backed Curry autograph inside the 37-card /225 rookie spine, and that alone gives 2009-10 lasting collector gravity.
