Well, it belongs to alternative investment firm Alt, technically, but it has Curry's likeness on it.

The record-setting card recently fetched the price of $5.9 million, breaking the previous record of a LeBron James card that went for $5.2 million, to Alt as well.

"Steph is a generational player," Alt's founder Leore Avidar told NBC Sports. "Our data shows that Steph's cards have increased 35% in value YTD -- compare that to the S&P and you can see the outsized return potential."

In the All-Star point guard's return to the NBA in 2020-21 following a broken left hand sidelining him for the majority of 2019-20, the 33-year-old Curry scored a career-high 32 points per game in 63 games, once again shooting over 40 percent from behind the arc (42.1).

The Warriors finished 39-33, good for ninth in the Western Conference, losing in overtime to Memphis 117-112 in a play-in game.
