2025 Topps Chrome F1 Hobby: a multi-sport release from Topps, scored here on appreciation, liquidity, accessibility and risk. It's filed as a rip rather than a hold, which means the case for it depends on demand at or near release rather than on sealed supply drying up years from now.
Both of the upside numbers are strong here — appreciation 78, liquidity 72. That pairing is rare enough to be the reason this entry exists, and rare enough that the price normally reflects it.
Accessibility of 40 means you'll pay somewhat over the sensible number but not absurdly so. Worth watching, because this score moves faster than any of the other three.
Set against all 70 sealed products scored here, its appreciation of 78 ranks 31st of 70, liquidity 72 ranks 39th, accessibility 40 ranks 27th, and risk 30 is the 29th-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is 2025 Topps Chrome UFC Hobby, which scores 72 and 65 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.
Two years gives the situation time to develop past its first impression, which is usually when the price is set by whoever shouted loudest. It also means two years of not touching it, including through the stretch where it looks wrong.
At 30, this is one of the calmer entries in here. Read that as relative: the floor under any card is whatever the next person will pay, and that number can move a long way in a month.
Every entry gets four separate scores instead of one grade, because a single grade hides the thing you needed. Full explanation in the guide: which sealed boxes return more than they cost.
