What Is a Max Verstappen Card Worth?
How to value a Max Verstappen card by type and grade — base, refractors, autos, and graded slabs — using live eBay listings and sold comps instead of guesswork.
There’s no single “price” for a Max Verstappen card — value depends almost entirely on what type of card it is and what grade it’s in. Rather than quote a number that’s wrong by next week, this page frames how to think about value and sends you straight to the live eBay market so you’re reading real listings and sold comps.
The prices you’ll see are live eBay listings — the actual market, updating in real time.
Value runs along two axes
1. Card type (rarest = most valuable):
- Base cards — the most affordable, printed in quantity. A great entry point.
- Refractors & numbered parallels — chromium cards from Topps Chrome F1 and Sapphire; scarcer print runs push value up, and the lower the serial number, the more it matters.
- Autographs — on-card and sticker autos, especially from premium lines like Dynasty F1, sit at the top.
2. Grade: a raw card and the same card in a PSA 10 can be worlds apart in price. Grading rewards centering, corners, edges, and surface — our free grading ROI calculator helps you decide whether a raw card is worth submitting.
Real card numbers from the market
Verstappen has appeared on dozens of card numbers across the Topps F1 program. Confirming the actual year, set and card number printed on the card — not just “it’s a Verstappen chrome” — is the first step in valuing it correctly. A few examples currently tracked in our listings:
| Year | Set | Card # | What it actually is | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | Topps Chrome Formula 1 | #162 | Rookie-anchor year card | listing description |
| 2020 | Topps Chrome F1 Sapphire | #26 | Sapphire, rookie-anchor year | listing description |
| 2021 | Topps Chrome Formula 1 | #55 | Orange Red Refractor | listing description |
| 2023 | Topps Chrome Formula 1 | #169 | Grand Prix Driver of the Day subset (not base) | published checklist |
| 2024 | Topps Chrome Formula 1 | #182 | F1 Award Winners subset (not base) | published checklist |
| 2024 | Topps Now | #8 | ”Three Consecutive Wins”, print run 1,707 | listing description |
Two of those were previously described here as “base” cards and are not: 2023 #169 sits in the Grand Prix Driver of the Day subset and 2024 #182 in F1 Award Winners. Verstappen’s actual base cards in those years are 2023 #1–4 (F1 Drivers) and #102 (F1 Cars), and 2024 #1 and #73.
Note the source column. Card numbers from 2023 onward are checked against the published Topps checklists; 2020–2022 numbers on this site come from graded-slab listing descriptions, because no free checklist oracle covers Topps F1 before 2023. Treat those as claims to confirm from the card face, not as established facts — the same goes for any Topps Now print run quoted in a listing.
Card numbers repeat across different years and sets, so it’s the year + set + number together that identifies a specific card — not the number alone. Topps Now is the one product where you can check an exact print run at a glance: see the FAQ below on how the “PR” figure works.
The one Verstappen card with a documented ceiling
Most “grail” talk in F1 is guesswork. One card isn’t: in 2025 Topps signed an exclusive autograph, trading-card and merchandise contract with Verstappen and inserted a one-of-one relic into 2025 Topps Eccellenza Formula 1 carrying a piece of his race-worn suit from the fastest lap in F1 history, in a single random pack. We don’t speculate on what it’s worth — but it is the documented top of his market, and it is verifiable rather than invented.

Read the market, don’t guess
Use the buttons above to open live listings for each card type, then filter eBay to “Sold items” to see completed prices — that’s the honest signal. As a dominant, high-profile champion, Verstappen’s cards see strong and active demand, and values still move around race results and season milestones, so a live look always beats a static number.
