James Harden gives the 2009 class another true long-term pillar beyond Curry and Blake. The base checklist places him in both the AU/RC core at #45 and the autograph-only continuation at #74, which makes him one of the clearest examples of how layered the final-year rookie spine actually is.

Listed on the Beckett 2009-10 checklist as part of the Rookie Gold Rainbow branch. The Beckett checklist makes clear that the final rookie class still has player-specific scarcity logic, which is a major part of why 2009 cannot be read as a generic late-run set. Beckett rookie notation: AU, RC.

Harden's #45 helps give the final NBA Exquisite release real long-term depth beside Curry and Blake. It is a clean example of how the 2009 rookie spine still matters even without the earlier years' standard NBA patch window format.

Harden's second autograph-only continuation card is a useful archival detail because it shows how the 2009 rookie run layers autograph subjects deeper into the numbering rather than confining them to one early RC band.
