Antonelli's true rookie: card #8 of 2025 Topps Chrome Formula 1, his first card as an F1 driver, in the Refractor. Nine months ago a raw one was $72. Now it is $310, a PSA 10 is $1,950 (five sales in thirty days, $1,700 to $2,000) and a PSA 9 is $440. PSA has graded 308 and gemmed 39%; the 9 and the 8 are centering, which Chrome F1 is famous for. On Sep 20 the Red Refractor /5 of this card sold at Goldin for $360,510, the number that told the hobby what it thinks of the driver. The base Refractor is the version you can own, and it has tripled since spring on a rising count of buyers.
Every grade this card trades at, most expensive at the top. Base Refractor #8 only; the colour, Lazer and RayWave Refractors are different cards and sit in the strip.

The card's whole life: $210 when the first slabs appeared in February, $710 in April, $1,125 in June, $1,703 now. The 9 went $72 to $367 and raw $61 to $263 on the same curve. Every month higher than the last but one.
$16.0K changed hands across 24 base-Refractor sales in thirty days, Aug 21 to Sep 20, 2026.
Holding a raw copy? Grade it if the centering is clean, and know it is a 38% bet. A 10 is $1,950, a 9 still returns $440 over the $310 you hold, and the price has risen every month; the only loss is an off-centre 8. Holding a 10? Hold. A rookie card rising on volume with a six-figure parallel behind it is not a card to sell in September; take profit only if you hold several. Buying a 10? $1,700 to $2,000 by bidding; the listings are a headline, not a price. Buying a 9? Under $400, as the value way in. Buying raw? Under $280, centred, and confirm it says Refractor and nothing else.
