The Los Angeles Chargers are an AFC West franchise, and in the modern hobby their card market runs squarely through Justin Herbert. Since he arrived as the 6th overall pick in 2020 and won Offensive Rookie of the Year, Herbert has become the anchor of a growing Chargers collector base.

Franchise history

The Chargers were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League and are one of the NFL’s longtime franchises, competing in the AFC West. The team now plays in Los Angeles, and its current era is defined by the arrival of franchise quarterback Justin Herbert.

A big-armed franchise QB, his 2020 rookie cards — across Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Contenders, Select, and National Treasures — along with his numbered parallels and autographs, are the most actively traded current-Chargers cards.
