2023 Topps Chrome Formula 1 Charles Leclerc Aqua Wave Refractor #5 value & prices

The 2023 Topps Chrome Formula 1 Charles Leclerc Aqua Wave Refractor #5 is a Racing card (Aqua Wave Refractor parallel) released in 2024. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $11.33.

An ungraded copy is worth around $11.33, a PSA 9 around $29.26, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $41.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $53.00. That's roughly a 3.6× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Is it worth grading?

The spread between raw ($11.33) and top-graded ($41.00) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
