Logan Paul recently shared a sharp take on investing: alternative assets like Pokemon cards punish short-term thinking. He means that chasing quick flips often backfires, while patient holders win big over time. For Pokemon collectors on PokemonPricing.com, this hits home right now with prices dipping across many sets.
Take the Paradox Rift expansion from Scarlet & Violet. In November 2025, the top card, Groudon Illustration Rare, sits at $75.52 after dropping $20 from last month. Other big names like Altaria ex Special Illustration Rare at $43.73 and Roaring Moon ex at $36.45 have slid too. Yet a few bucks went up, such as Minun Illustration Rare to $26.47 and Plusle at $24.66. These shifts show the market rewarding those who wait out the lows.[2]
Videos tracking 2025 values echo this. One points to cards like a red Victini monochrome dropping $30 to $40, now around $425 to $465, matching a broader pullback on high-end moderns. Another notes prices falling since peaks, with some flattening near $1,000 support after hitting $800 lows, or hovering between $250 and $300 without crashing further.[1][3]
High-end sales tell the same story. A vintage Pokemon card hammered 64% below its 2022 price in 2025, even at a lower grade. Modern sets like Surging Sparks and Temporal Forces keep trending down, with packs lingering on shelves as buyers eye other games like One Piece.[6][7]
But Logan Paul’s point shines in the rebounds. Special Delivery Pikachu climbed after dips, and sales data shows aggressive buying at $1,350 lows, pushing one card to $2,400 before settling. Market trends peg average Pokemon cards at $10 to $80, with 126% growth over two years from nostalgia and collecting buzz. Peaks hit in December, lows in July, perfect for long-haul plays.[4][5][8]
Short-term traders panic-sell on dips like today’s, but holders who bought Groudon higher or grabbed Minun early see the cycle. Prices flatten, then spike for those who ignore the noise. Alternative assets demand that long view, just as Paul says.
