Topps debuts a one-of-a-kind Lewis Hamilton “Diamond Anniversary” card featuring a real diamond embedded as part of the Dynasty Diamond Heritage Collection.
It comes as the seven-time Formula One world champion prepares for new rules for 2026, a psychological reset for a driver who endured an unsettling first year at Ferrari after moving from Mercedes. At the end of the season, Hamilton was sixth in the drivers’ championship with 156 points, 86 points behind teammate Charles Leclerc, and was clearly frustrated by his poor results at Ferrari.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of F1, making it an important year for the championship itself and for Hamilton. This has paved the way for a number of premium cards this year, some of which are making tons of money online. Featuring a diamond to commemorate the series’ diamond anniversary, this card will be a major highlight of the series and will likely fetch a high price.
Another card revealed by Topps and Hamilton in November also featured a piece of material from the driver’s Ferrari racing suit.

The card also features his signature in blue ink across the top of the design, followed by his memorable slogan: “Still We Rise.” This comes from the brand’s high-end line, the Topps Dynasty Series, where each card comes with authentic autographs and patches from things like game gloves, zippers and even nameplates.
They are wrapped and extremely rare.
Topps has held an F1 license since 2020 and has quickly become the leading authority on trading cards for the championship. In 2024, one of their Hamilton cards was sold for a record-breaking $1 million.
