Best Golden State Warriors Cards to Collect

The Golden State Warriors have one of the deepest benches of collectible players in the NBA. This is a starting shortlist — the names whose cards reliably draw demand. Rather than name specific card numbers or print runs (which shift by product and year), each entry links to live eBay listings so you see the actual cards for sale right now.

Current stars

• Stephen Curry — the greatest shooter ever and the single most collected Warrior. Rookies and numbered parallels anchor the modern market; start with the Stephen Curry rookie cards guide.
• Draymond Green — a four-time champion and defensive anchor; his rookies are often undervalued. See the Draymond Green rookie cards guide for the tier breakdown.
• Jonathan Kuminga — a young athletic wing with speculative upside; his rookies draw prospector interest.
• Jimmy Butler — the veteran two-way star acquired in February 2025; his Warriors-uniform cards start with 2024-25 products, so the Golden State checklist is still short.

Legends and recent-era greats

• Klay Thompson — the “Splash Brother” and four-time champion of the Warriors dynasty; a fan-favorite whose cards stay in demand. The Klay Thompson rookie cards guide covers his 2011-12 first-year tiers.
• Kevin Durant — the superteam superstar whose 2016-2019 Golden State run delivered two titles and two Finals MVPs; his Warriors-era cards are a coveted dynasty artifact.
• Wilt Chamberlain — Warriors franchise legend; his 1961-62 Fleer rookie is a hobby cornerstone.
• Rick Barry — Hall of Famer and 1975 Finals MVP; a foundational vintage Warrior.

Which sets these cards come from

Almost every modern name above appears across the same handful of Panini base products, and knowing which one you’re bidding on matters more than the player alone:

• Panini Prizm Basketball — the flagship chromium set and the default answer for parallels and rookie chases. Note it launched in 2012-13, so Curry and Klay have no true rookie-year Prizm.
• Panini Donruss Optic — the Rated Rookie design in chromium; a more accessible entry point to the same rainbow look.
• Panini Select — splits its checklist into Concourse, Premier, and Courtside tiers, so one player has several base cards per release.
• NBA Hoops — the large-checklist base set, and the practical choice if you want a card of every Warrior from a season.
