A one-of-a-kind Kimi Antonelli rookie card has officially sold for a staggering $878,400 at auction, immediately cementing its status as the second most expensive Formula 1 trading card ever sold in history. The monumental sale comes just days ahead of a crucial weekend where the young sensation could potentially secure the world championship.
The highly coveted item is identified as a 2025 Topps Chrome F1 Chrome Autographs SuperFractor numbered 1/1, carrying a pristine GEM MINT 10 grade from PSA. The auction, hosted by Goldin, concluded after fierce competition involving a total of 34 bids before officially closing on October 17.
Only a single copy of this specific card exists in existence, featuring Andrea Kimi Antonelli's authentic autograph rendered in blue ink alongside Topps' signature gold SuperFractor finish. Goldin executives did not hesitate to label the collectible as the absolute 'Holy Grail' of his burgeoning motorsport career.
According to Card Ladder market data reported by Sports Illustrated, only one motorsport card in history has ever fetched a higher price at auction: a 2020 Topps Chrome F1 SuperFractor 1/1 featuring Lewis Hamilton, which commanded $900,000 back in May 2022. The rookie's record-breaking valuation fell a mere $21,600 short of eclipsing that all-time benchmark.
The unprecedented surge in collector demand arrives as the Italian prodigy closes in on the championship crown during only his second campaign in the top tier. Arriving in Austin with a commanding 102-point advantage, the historic milestone places him on the brink of becoming the youngest world champion in the history of the sport.
