Topps Formula 1 (Flagship): Set Guide

A collector's guide to the Topps Formula 1 flagship — the paper base set of the licensed F1 program, and the most accessible way to own a Kimi Antonelli rookie-year card.

Topps Formula 1 is the paper flagship of the licensed F1 trading-card program. Because Topps holds the official Formula 1 license, this is the foundational set most collectors start with — a full base checklist across the grid, insert sets, and accessible autographs.

For a Kimi Antonelli collector, the flagship is the most affordable way to own a 2025 rookie-year card before stepping up to the chromium and premium lines. From here, the natural progression is Topps Chrome Formula 1 (refractors and parallels) and Chrome F1 Sapphire for the shine.

Everything trades on the live eBay market — search real listings rather than trusting a single price. Start with Antonelli’s rookie cards guide, or see the full release calendar for what’s out and what’s next.
