Kevin Durant is the superstar scorer whose arrival turned the Golden State Warriors into a two-time champion superteam. Drafted second overall in 2007, Durant signed with Golden State in the summer of 2016 and delivered back-to-back NBA titles in 2017 and 2018 — winning Finals MVP both years. His Warriors tenure spanned just three seasons, but it produced two of the franchise’s four modern championships, which is why his Golden State-era cards hold a distinct place in any Dub Nation collection.

What to collect

Durant’s 2007-08 rookie cards are the foundation of his market — but note they’re Seattle SuperSonics issues, from the season before the team relocated, not Warriors cards. His 2007-08 Topps base rookie is the most recognizable, while premium rookies, autographs, and numbered parallels from that class carry the most upside. For Warriors collectors specifically, the cards to chase are his Golden State-era issues (2016-17 through 2018-19) — base cards, parallels, and autographs that document the two-championship superteam directly. The eBay rails on this page surface his actual cards for sale — rookies, graded slabs, and lots.

Buying tips

  • Durant’s rookies are Sonics cards; his Warriors-era cards (2016-17 to 2018-19) are the ones team collectors want — confirm the team and year on the listing.
  • Grade or buy graded for anything above pocket-change prices — condition sensitivity is high on premium rookies, parallels, and autos.
  • Championship-year Warriors cards (2016-17 and 2017-18) carry extra appeal because they overlap the title runs and the Finals MVP seasons.
  • The eBay rails above show live Durant listings updated in real time.

Where Durant fits in a Warriors collection

Durant is a superteam-era piece from the modern dynasty, pairing naturally with his 2017 and 2018 championship teammates Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Collectors building the full franchise story pair the modern core with the young athletic wing Jonathan Kuminga, 2022 champion Andrew Wiggins, and vintage Hall of Famers like Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Chris Mullin, and Nate Thurmond.

Frequently Asked Questions

What year are Kevin Durant's rookie cards?
Durant was drafted second overall in 2007, so his rookie cards come from 2007-08 basketball releases (Topps, Fleer, Upper Deck, Bowman, and more) — issued while he was on the Seattle SuperSonics, not the Warriors. His 2007-08 Topps base rookie is the most recognizable entry point; premium rookies, autographs, and numbered parallels from that class carry the most upside. Always confirm the exact set, year, and rookie designation on the listing before buying.
Are Kevin Durant's Warriors cards a good buy?
Durant is one of the most collected players in the entire hobby, and his Golden State cards from 2016-17 through 2018-19 capture two championships and two Finals MVP runs in a single three-season window. For Warriors collectors those team-era base cards, parallels, and autographs are the chase — they document the superteam era directly. Check current listings for what's available and at what level of demand.
Why does Kevin Durant matter to Warriors collectors?
Durant signed with Golden State in 2016 and immediately delivered back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018, winning Finals MVP both years. Even though his three-season Warriors run was short, it produced two of the franchise's four modern championships — making his Warriors-era cardboard a genuine dynasty artifact that pairs naturally with Curry, Thompson, and Green from the same rosters.
