Yeah, that's what it looks like according to the text on the tabs. Question is, were they issued in the 69/70 album, or are they commemoratives issued in a more recent album?

Issued/inserted in the original albums.

I don't think the reprint sets/albums included something similar.

Here's an example

This isn't the first time a Prost rookie sticker has been posted in this thread, but here is a recent pick up for me. Prost is destined to be forever "undervalued," given his resume. I picked this up for under $60. That just seems crazy for the rookie sticker of a four-time F1 champion.

Nice pick-up. I thought I saw Prost cards finally starting to pick up some steam a little while back, but maybe that was short lasting.

I think F1 cards in general are starting to come back down to earth. The 2009 Top Trumps Hamilton seems to be trading at a fraction of the price it did a year or two ago.

I don't really play around with any of the newer Topps releases outside of the cheaper Match Attax cards, so maybe the newer shinier stuff is still getting lots of interest, but the vintage stuff seems to be definitely on the way back down.

The Topps F1 cards have crashed in price, even Hamilton's stuff. Guys like Charles LeClerc and Lando Norris, whose careers were on a much more upward trajectory a year or two ago, have really fallen off a cliff.

How would you like to be holding some high-end Mick Schumacher these days?

I think I have a 20 count lot of Mick's 1st Topps Now F1 Card (not his 1st F2 card) laying around here somewhere.

At $4.95 apiece, I paid waaay too much for them LOL!



Thought he had a lot of potential, but he really regressed last year. Didn't anticipate he wouldn't even have a car this year. Maybe a couple more years getting seasoning as a reserve driver, and he'll be back at it again.

My son and I are collecting the 2020 Topps Chrome Refractor driver portrait cards in PSA 10. We started our quest last fall and I think we have 12 of the 20 so far. Yes, the Hamilton has really dropped from the $4-5k peak it hit in late 2021, but it still brings roughly $1200-1400 now. I'm really ok with this, as we haven't bought one yet.
