Lewis Hamilton + Max Verstappen 2021 Formula 1 Topps NOW · #78

THE MOMENT

Enter the final race level on 369.5 championship points

No other Topps NOW card compresses the Hamilton–Verstappen rivalry so cleanly: both drivers, both teams and a dead-even championship before Abu Dhabi. The base is plentiful, but 29 exact raw sales and 30 PSA 10 sales make this the deepest observable market in the study.

OUR TAKE

Famous moments, affordable base cards

Ohtani reaching 50/50 and Hamilton and Verstappen tied before the final race both made memorable cards. Large print runs help explain why ordinary copies can stay affordable while special versions cost much more.
