2026 Topps Chrome Formula 1 Sapphire Edition Racing Checklist

Sapphire finishes, a 200-card base set and edition-specific autographs

2026 Topps Chrome Formula 1 Sapphire Edition now has an edition-specific checklist and Sapphire odds sheet from Topps. The official roster lists 322 cards: 200 base cards, 11 Infinite Sapphire inserts, 100 Chrome Autographs and 11 Sapphire Selections Autograph cards.

Topps announces US online availability through EQL on November 12, 2026 at 1 PM ET (10 AM PST / 18:00 UTC). Topps UK separately advertises November 12 at 15:00 UK time (15:00 UTC) on EQL. These are market-specific online sale windows, not a verified physical distribution date.

What's in the checklist

• Base: Cards 1–200 cover F1, F2, F3 and F1 Academy drivers, F1 cars, Grand Prix winners, Driver of the Day cards, award winners, legends, duos, team logos and team principals. The 11 duo cards are 11 cards, each with two drivers.
• Parallels: The base set lists Purple Sapphire /75, Gold Sapphire /50, White Sapphire /30, Orange Sapphire /25, Black Sapphire /10, Red Sapphire /5 and Padparadscha Sapphire 1/1, each with its own stated odds. Topps notes that not every subject necessarily appears in every parallel. Insert and autograph parallels are listed with their odds only, because their print runs are not stated.
• Inserts: Infinite Sapphire contains 11 cards, INF-1 through INF-11. The official odds sheet lists Infinite Sapphire at 1:80 and its Padparadscha Sapphire parallel at 1:12,580.
• Autographs: 100 Chrome Autographs and 11 Sapphire Selections Autograph cards. Topps advertises one autograph per box, including rare on-card autographs from F1 drivers; that does not mean every autograph in the product is on-card.

Notable subjects

The checklist includes Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Arvid Lindblad is marked Rookie on base cards #12 and #100 and on autographs CAC-AL and SSA-AL. Topps marks 60 other cards 1st; Rookie and 1st markings are shown separately, as printed. The Infinite Sapphire list includes Oscar Piastri, George Russell, Isack Hadjar, Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, Liam Lawson, Lance Stroll, Esteban Ocon, Gabriel Bortoleto, Pierre Gasly and Valtteri Bottas.

Grading considerations

Verify the Sapphire finish, card number and any printed serial number, then inspect the surface under angled light. Check edges, corners and centering independently of scarcity or autograph content. A checklist helps identify a card; it does not establish its condition or grade. See our grading scale.

The official checklist and odds were checked on November 11, 2026. Topps states that its checklists and odds describe the intended production configuration, that actual contents and odds may vary, and that a subject's inclusion does not guarantee every parallel or variation. The odds sheet prints Base Sapphire as 3:1 and gives no pack or box unit; the ratios are shown exactly as printed.

Topps' checklist leaves the Name field blank for #150 and the 11 team logo cards (#179–189); those cards are shown with a dash, and their printed teams are noted in their sections. CAC-NG is listed as Alba Larsen, as printed. Green Sapphire, mentioned in an earlier Topps preview, is not listed on the current product hubs or the official odds sheet and remains unverified.
