Agree. Pricing is ridiculous on these!!!

Hamilton/5 closed for less than $10k yesterday - sign of a softening market?

In Dynasty the patch matters. The triple plain Relics are not going to be as desired this year, that's been shown in pricing on all drivers.

I was outbid on the eBay 2021 Bottas glove 1/1 with the IWC watch for the patch

Very cool looking card

Did Topps confirm that the Dynasty relics are actually race worn?

Well, what's it say on the back?

"...not from any specific race, event or season." To me, that just means that Topps is not specifically identifying when/where the items were worn. Keep in mind that the relics in Dynasty also include those of Team Principals. Obviously those relics cannot be "race worn" so a blanket statement must cover all relics. Take a look at this Vettel card:

I own some actual race-worn memorabilia with that same little gold tag. That gold tag does not come on generic, random memorabilia that isn't race worn.

The reason I asked the original question is because I read somewhere that Topps recently released an article confirming that the relics are indeed race worn. But I have not seen and cannot find that article.

They probably had them wear a piece of clothing for 30 seconds then cut out a swatch for the card.
That's probably why the Floyd Mayweather Topps Dynasty says "fighter" worn and not "fight" worn

[watchsteez]

And we are paying crazy money for these cards! The on-card auto saves the day lol

Yeah sounds like they just recieve a game worn race suit from the team but havent been told when and where it was used. Could of been used for multiple races.
F1 Authentic auctions sometimes auction off race worn stuff from particular races but dont think Topps would bother jumping in auctions to get these suits

Maybe because many cards are not driver's cards but from principals/managers etc. who cannot have any race-worn suits.
Topps would be lazy to use the same wordings applying to drivers as well.

Yeah agreed, even if Topps purchase Vettel's race suit from Monaco this year for example they'd still prob put that down haha.
