It’s not every day you get to see a $1 million sports card sell but over the weekend. There were 2 and they were both Justin Herbert cards!
Two high-end Justin Herbert rookie cards sold at auction for over $1 million each: one by Goldin Auctions and another by Boston Sports Cards & Co. These sales have put Herbert in an exclusive club so far (that also includes some other notable names from football history), but we're expecting more players will join him soon enough!
It’s Been A Big Couple Of Years For The Los Angeles Chargers Quarterback.
It makes sense that collectors are taking note of the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback.
In his rookie season, he finished on a four-game winning streak with 4,336 yards passing, 31 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, and in 2021, Herbert recorded franchise records with 5,014 passing yards, 38 passing touchdowns, and 15 interceptions.
Herbert's Popularity With Collectors Has Surged
You're probably wondering how a rookie card could be worth so much. After all, aren't football cards usually less valuable than baseball cards? But according to eBay from May 1 to July 31, searches for Herbert trading cards on eBay skyrocketed by 2,364% and that's with no football even being played!
Herbert’s rookie cards are valuable, but they can’t compare to the other items that have been sold through Goldin Auctions. One of their most notable sales was a pair of shoes worn by Michael Jordan during his iconic game-winning shot in Game 5 of the 1993 NBA Finals against Portland. Those shoes sold for $105,000 and set a new record for collectibles sold by Goldin Auctions.
Top Justin Herbert Rookie Cards
Herbert's popularity is no question. Paired with Beckett grading services, undoubtedly, any Justin Herbert card can be sold for hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Some of the top Justin Herbert rookie cards include the rookie card from Base Donruss collection. These Justin Herbert Rookie Cards are not very expensive so they are a great investment for the long run. Prizm Black, Mosaic Silver, Panini Contenders, and Optic Holo collections also include some high value Justin Herbert rookie cards.
The Prizm Base also includes Justin Herbert Rookie Cards but they are not all that exclusive. The Herbert rookie card is part of the base collection which is why it isn’t considered so unique.
How Beckett Grading Services Increase Card Value
Things like on card autograph increase the value of any usual card versus if the same image is not signed. If you put up a Boston sports card with rookie signatures for sale on eBay, skyrocketed prices will also attract buyers. Similarly, NFL shield logo will do the same.
But an autograph card isn’t the only thing that raises the value of a sports card. A buyer’s premium collection includes graded cards. High-end collectors make sure to only invest in cards that have gone through reliable Beckett grading services for guaranteed authenticity.
Gem signatures along with Beckett grading services can make your Herbert trading cards sell for higher than their market value. You can get this service from Cherry Collectables.
Other Valuable Cards
Justin Herbert Rookie Cards aren’t the only buyer’s premium choice. Other than a Justin Herbert card, Panini Contenders, Panini Mosaic, and Panini Origins collections offer many more valuable cards you can invest in.
Look for features that make the card unique. Things like an NFL shield logo, autograph, RPA card, etc. increase card value. Base Donruss cards with rookie signatures are also highly priced cards.
