Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson is one half of the Splash Brothers, a five-time NBA All-Star, and a four-time champion who spent the entirety of the Golden State Warriors dynasty (2011–2024) shooting the lights out next to Stephen Curry. For collectors, he is one of the most important names in the entire Warriors market — the backcourt partner whose historic three-point shooting powered four titles.

What to collect

Klay’s card market spans several tiers. His 2011-12 rookie cards are the foundation — they carry the “first year” premium collectors prize, and high-grade copies of his best rookies command real money (see our full Klay Thompson rookie cards guide for the tier-by-tier breakdown). Beyond rookies, his numbered parallels (colored refractor-style variants limited to a set print run) and autographs are the cards that tend to hold and build value over time.

Because the NBA trading-card license ran through Panini for most of Klay’s career (Prizm, Optic, Hoops, Select, and more) and moved to Fanatics/Topps beginning with the 2025-26 season, you’ll find him across a wide range of brands. Rather than chase a specific card number here, use the live eBay rails on this page — they surface the actual Klay Thompson cards for sale right now.

A real card number, verified in stock

Team-set checklists are a useful, concrete way to see where a role player sits relative to the stars around him. In the 2022-23 Donruss Golden State Warriors team set, Klay is card #117 — slotted right between Stephen Curry at #116 and Draymond Green at #118, with James Wiseman at #119 and Jonathan Kuminga at #179 rounding out the eight-card checklist. That’s a genuine, in-stock example, not a hypothetical — card numbers like these are set-specific and don’t carry over to other releases, so always confirm the year and set on whatever listing you’re buying.

Buying tips

• For anything at a meaningful price point, strongly prefer graded copies (PSA, SGC, or BGS) so condition is authenticated.
• Watch for reprints and unlicensed “custom” cards — buy from sellers with strong feedback and clear photos of the actual card.
• Serial-numbered and on-card autographs generally out-hold plain base cards.
• Splash Brothers “dual” cards featuring both Klay and Stephen Curry are a distinct, collectible niche worth watching.

Where Klay fits in a Warriors collection

Klay is a core pillar of any dynasty-era Warriors PC. Pair him with fellow champions Stephen Curry and Draymond Green to anchor the modern era, then add Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, and Andrew Wiggins from the surrounding championship runs. Collectors building the full franchise story round it out with vintage Hall of Famers like Wilt Chamberlain.
