Kimi Antonelli is one of 74 player entries in The Card Investor. Age 19, listed at Driver, currently with Mercedes — filed under Formula 1.

Accessibility is the problem here, at 35. A low accessibility score doesn't mean the pick is wrong — it means the market got there first, and what's left on the shelf is priced for the good outcome you were hoping to be paid for.

Breakout (98) and card upside (98) sit close together, which is the straightforward case: if the performance arrives, the cards should follow it rather than shrug.

Set against the 5 Formula 1 breakout picks scored here, its breakout of 98 ranks 1st of 5, card upside 98 ranks 1st, accessibility 35 ranks 4th, and risk 18 is the 1st-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is Antonelli Race-Weekend Recurring Flip, which scores 88 and 82 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.

A one-year horizon means you're betting on a single body of work — one season, essentially. That's a much narrower bet than a career, and it should be sized like one.

At 18, 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.

Where to buy Kimi Antonelli

Card showOnline

You can realistically find Kimi Antonelli cards at a card show and online.

Because this is a player rather than a product, you are shopping for singles: show tables and online marketplaces always have them, and the rest of the list depends on how widely the cards were printed.

How to read these four numbers

Every entry gets four separate scores instead of one grade, because a single grade hides the thing you needed. Full explanation in the guide: how to spot a breakout before the cards move.
