The Best Ways to Collect Kimi Antonelli in 2026

Where to start, what to chase, and how to buy — a practical roundup of the best ways to build a Kimi Antonelli collection across the Topps Formula 1 program.

By Kimi Cards Team Updated July 21, 2026

Building a Kimi Antonelli collection is refreshingly simple once you know the map — because Topps holds the official Formula 1 license, everything comes from one program. Here’s the best way to approach it, from first card to high-end.

1. Start with a rookie base card

The cleanest entry point is a 2025 rookie-year base card from the Topps Formula 1 flagship or Topps Chrome F1. Accessible, obviously a rookie, and the foundation of any collection. See the rookie cards guide for the exact set families to search.

2. Step up to refractors & parallels

Once you’re hooked, the chromium refractors from Chrome F1 and the online-exclusive Chrome F1 Sapphire are where value and visual appeal climb. Lower serial numbers are scarcer and command more.

3. Chase the autographs

The top of the market is on-card autographs, headlined by ultra-premium Topps Dynasty F1. Buy these graded. Full breakdown on the autographs & chrome page.

4. Buy smart

Cards trade on the live eBay market — always check “sold” comps before buying, buy graded at higher price points, and read our collecting guide to avoid fakes. Not sure what something’s worth? Use the “what’s it worth” framework.
