Almost everything Formula 1 has exploded in price over the past year. It's a combination of the Netflix Drive to Survive series and Topps now having a license to produce F1 cards. I can't believe how many $10,000+ cards the Topps 2020 set has produced. Even mid-pack runners have some $1,000+ manufactured scarcity/autograph cards from the 2020 Topps set.
Along those same lines, Lewis Hamilton's 2006 Futera pre-rookie card is extremely rare, but I still found the $312,000 sale at Goldin to be shocking. Ditto for the $900,000 sale of a 2020 Topps 1/1 Superfractor of Hamilton at Goldin.
On a smaller scale, Niki Lauda's rookie card is a sticker from the 1974 Vedettes set. Nearly every example in the past year or so has exploded close to the $1,000 range, with higher grade versions selling in the mid four figures. That is shocking to me.
The 1984 Ayrton Senna Panini Scratch N' Play is another example that has gone crazy in the past year, with several examples selling for $10,000+ and as much as $30,000 for a higher grade example.
