Logan Paul cashes out historic Pokémon card and says alternative assets shaped his financial mindset

Logan Paul just cashed out one of the biggest deals in Pokemon card history, and he’s crediting alternative assets like these cards for changing how he thinks about money.[1]

Three years ago, Paul dropped $5.3 million on what he calls the Holy Grail of all Pokemon cards. This gem set a record back then as the most expensive Pokemon card ever sold.[1] He bought it with Ken Goldin, the collectibles expert from the Netflix show King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch. That purchase is now a key story in season 3 of the series.[1]

Fast forward to now, and Paul is selling it. He told CNN the market has likely jumped three to four times since he got it, beating the S&P 500 by a whopping 3,000% over those years.[1] While he did not share the final sale price in the interview, teaming up again with his vlog channel and Goldin means this could smash records once more.[1]

Paul sees Pokemon cards and other collectibles as smart plays outside traditional investments. They shaped his financial mindset, showing him how these assets can grow huge value fast.[1] For collectors watching prices daily, this move highlights why rare cards like this one keep drawing big money from high-profile buyers.

In the same chat, Paul touched on his wrestling career and his brother Jake’s upcoming fight, with a fun cameo from their mom. But for us Pokemon fans, the card sale steals the show as a reminder of the wild potential in the hobby.[1]
