Leclerc’s two homes: the Monaco and Monza 2024 Topps NOW cards

Start with the two photographs

On the Monaco card, Leclerc is above the crowd, trophy raised, carried by people in Ferrari red. On the Monza card, he stands in a black race suit, hair untidy, smiling. Put the two photographs together and you can see why a collection organized around a driver can be more satisfying than one organized around a parallel colour.

The Italian Grand Prix returns on 4–6 September 2026. It is a good weekend to revisit the two victories Leclerc gave Ferrari in 2024 at the circuits where winning feels personal. The names are close enough to cause confusion in a marketplace search. The dates printed on the cards settle it: 26.05.24 for Monaco; 01.09.24 for Monza.

Monaco: the Sunday he could finally finish

Leclerc had already taken pole at Monaco in 2021 and 2022 without winning either race. In 2024 he took pole again. A first-lap red flag interrupted proceedings; once the race restarted, he controlled it from the front and finished ahead of Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz. After the earlier disappointments, an uneventful run to the flag was precisely what he needed.

That context gives #19 its weight. A close finish is unnecessary when the unfinished story is whether the local driver will ever win here. The photograph lets the tension out: Leclerc has left the cockpit and the team has lifted him into the celebration. For a collection about Leclerc himself, this would be my first choice of the pair.

Monza: Ferrari stayed out

The Italian Grand Prix on 1 September demanded something else. Leclerc started fourth. Ferrari committed to one stop while the McLarens made two; the closing laps became a contest between the track position he had kept and the speed Piastri could recover on fresher tyres. Leclerc made it home ahead of both McLarens.

Monza #49 records the reward for that decision. The black suit helps distinguish it immediately from the red celebration on #19. Its caption also specifies whose home race this is: Ferrari’s. Read quickly, the two listings can sound like duplicate commemorations. Look at the front and they become two separate chapters.

As a pair, they have a satisfying change of pace. Monaco was the win he had been trying to get through to the end. Monza was the win Ferrari had to take a chance to secure.

The small details that prevent the wrong purchase

Topps identifies Monaco as 2024 Formula 1 Topps NOW #19, with a published print run of 6,167. The linked UK archive identifies Monza as #49 and dates its original order window to 9–16 September 2024. That release date follows the race; it is not the date of the victory.

The Monza page has an inconsistent generic year field, so use its 2024 product title, card front and numbered identity together. It does not display a final print run. A number in a seller’s description needs separate confirmation before it becomes a scarcity argument.

For either card, ask for a clear reverse photograph if the number is missing from the listing. Check whether the card is raw or graded, whether a serial number is visible, and the total including delivery. The shopping links below start with the base editions. Search results can still mix formats, and an asking price tells you what a seller wants, not what another collector paid.

A two-card collection with a reason to exist

I would collect the ordinary versions together before chasing a numbered upgrade to either. It keeps the subject clear: two wins, two homes, two photographs. Monaco carries the stronger personal story; Monza supplies the Ferrari crowd and the nerve of the strategy call.

Neither card requires a prediction about Leclerc’s next title challenge. These races happened. The pleasure of the pair is being able to turn from one to the other and remember how differently he won them.
