Logan Paul has long been a big name in the Pokemon card world, buying up high-end cards like the famous Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art from Evolving Skies when prices were sky-high. Lately, that card dropped over $155 in value, now sitting around $2,063 on TCGPlayer, close to breaking under $2,000 for the first time in ages.[1] Other chase cards in the set, like Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art at $701 and Umbreon V Alternate Art at $429, have seen dips too, with the market showing short-term volatility across modern Pokemon TCG.[1][3]
In recent talks about his collecting strategy, Logan Paul stressed ignoring these quick ups and downs. He pointed out how prices can swing fast, like when Umbreon hit $2,400 after a buying rush on TCGPlayer, only to drop to $1,350 later as sellers piled in.[5] Paul explained his approach simply: he focuses on the cards he loves, not daily price charts. Short-term drops, like the $140 slide on Umbreon V Alternate Art last month, do not faze him because he sees Pokemon cards as long-hold investments driven by collector demand, not flipper hype.[1]
Paul shared that he skipped chasing peaks, even when cards like certain Victini monochromes fell $30 to $40 recently.[2] Instead, he bought during hype, betting on sets like Evolving Skies staying the top modern chase despite dips.[1] Videos breaking down 2025 prices show similar patterns, with big hitters flattening out around support levels, like $1,000 for some Umbreon variants, way above earlier lows.[3][6]
For collectors on PokemonPricing.com, Paul’s take lines up with current trends. High-end cards from Evolving Skies still lead, with Dragonite V Alternate Art at $405 and Espeon V at $169 holding strong amid broader market softening.[1] He ignores panic sells during downtrends, like those hitting sets from Surging Sparks to Temporal Forces, knowing nostalgia and gameplay keep demand steady year-round, peaking in December.[4][8]
Paul’s real-world moves show this in action. He grabbed stacks when values surged, then held through corrections, watching sales volume spike at dip points like $1,350 before rebounds.[5] Other top cards, such as Umbreon ex climbing from $1,020 to $1,050 weekly, prove volatility evens out for quality picks.[6] His advice boils down to tuning out noise: track real sales data, buy what excites you, and let time smooth the swings.
