2024 Topps Finest Formula 1 Racing Details
2024 Topps Finest Formula 1 sees racing cards enter some new territory. It’s got the chrome shine like many other F1 releases in recent years, but Finest lets the designs take over with looks that are big, bold and befitting of such a fast-paced sport.
Compared to other releases the brand has seen in other areas, 2024 Finest Formula 1 has a broader checklist as well that not only has autographs, inserts and Refractors galore but plenty of standard memorabilia cards as well.

As far as what’s in the base set, drivers from F1, F2 and F3 are all on the checklist. Collectors will also find some greats from the past.
While Topps Chrome and Paddock Pass use designs that showcase photography, Finest offers up splashy, more abstract backgrounds. This is a theme that runs throughout the product, even beyond the base set.
Autographs and Memorabilia Cards
All signatures in 2024 Topps Finest Formula 1 are on the tough side.
Finest Autographs have additional Gold Refractors (/25 or less), Black Refractors (/10 or less), Red Refractors (/5 or less) and Superfractors (1/1).
Starting Grid Signatures have ink from drivers but the image showcases their cars. Both these and Signature Fashion have Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1) to go with their limited base versions.
Finest Duo Signatures have just five copies each plus one-of-one Superfractors.
2024 Topps Finest F1 hobby boxes have one memorabilia card, sometimes two. Themes include F1 Relics, Finest Formulas, Raceday Relics, and Track Attack Relics. All of these come numbered to 99 and have Blue Refractors (/75), Green Refractors (/50), Gold Refractors (/25), Black Refractors (/10), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1).
Finest Duos Relics (/75) double up the swatches. Parallels are similar to other memorabilia sets except there are no Blue Refractors.
