Topps will release a new Formula 1 trading card set as one of three in-person exclusives during Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 this summer, the company announced Thursday.
The first set, 2025 Topps Formula 1 Fanatics Fest NYC Exclusive, will only be available for attendees on Friday, June 20.
The other two exclusive releases, which will be announced in the coming weeks, will be available for one day each on June 21 and June 22.
Boxes of 2025 Topps F1 FFNYC will cost $300 at the event and contain seven cards each — five base cards and two parallels. Cards will feature a Fanatics Fest NYC logo with NYC-themed parallels including Statue of Liberty, Orange Pizza Slice, Taxi Cab Yellow and Big Apple Red.
According to Topps, all 20 F1 drivers will appear in the set, including a subset for the six rookies. Driver autographs also will be included.
Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 will take place June 20-22 at the Javits Center and plans to feature more than 500 celebrity and athlete guests.
The 2025 F1 Fanatics Fest set is the latest in a number of exclusives linked to the event since its debut last year.
Topps released an exclusive Topps Chrome set for the inaugural show last summer, which featured all-new Big Apple Refractors and was only available onsite.
A collaboration with musician Travis Scott and the Cactus Jack brand was one of the most popular items from Fanatics Fest NYC 2024. Distributed at the Topps booth during the show, only 1,000 boxes of the release were made — sealed boxes immediately began selling for $1,000 or more on the secondary market.
According to data tool Card Ladder, the most expensive single-card sale from that set appears to be the $9,100 paid for a Travis Scott Orange Refractor /25 in August 2024.
