Logan Paul’s recent move to auction his pristine Charizard Pokemon card, valued at $5.3 million, proves that sticking to your own beliefs can pay off big time, even when most people disagree.[1]
Back in 2021, Logan Paul dropped over $5 million on this ultra-rare Base Set Shadowless Charizard in perfect 10/10 condition. It was the most expensive Pokemon card sale ever at the time. Many collectors and investors shook their heads. They said the Pokemon market was in a bubble ready to burst. Prices had skyrocketed during the pandemic hype, and experts warned of a crash. Stick to stocks or real estate, they advised. But Paul saw things differently. He believed in the long-term value of top-tier collectibles like this card.
Fast forward to now. Paul is putting the Charizard up for auction through Goldin Auctions. He is not selling out of panic. Instead, he is doubling down on his view that collectibles beat the stock market for smart investors. In a recent statement, he pointed out how traditional markets swing wildly with news and recessions. Rare cards like his Charizard hold steady value because passionate collectors always want them. This decision shows real conviction. Paul ignored the crowd’s consensus four years ago and bought high. Today, with the card still fetching top dollar, he looks smart.
