Logan Paul, the famous YouTuber, WWE wrestler, and entrepreneur, has a bold take on Pokémon cards. He says the iconic Charizard card captures the full history of Pokémon like no other.[1] Paul even wore a Charizard card on a flashy $75,000 chain to show off his love for these collectibles back in 2021.[1]
But his real headline grabber is not just talk. In 2022, Paul dropped $5.3 million on the rarest Pokémon card out there: a PSA Grade 9 Pikachu Illustrator. That made it the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold at the time and landed him a Guinness World Record.[1] He calls it the best of the best because only one exists with that top grade from PSA, the grading experts.[1]
Paul is no stranger to big moves. He built his fame on YouTube with his brother Jake, started a hit podcast, joined WWE, and co-founded the Prime energy drink. Now, he is pushing young collectors to think beyond stocks or buying a house. He bets on top-tier collectibles that stay rare and climb in value.[1]
Right now, that Pikachu card is up for auction in early 2026. The event is billed as the biggest Pokémon and trading card auction ever, with huge buzz already driving early bids.[1][2] Paul knows not every card wins long-term, so he sticks to ultra-rare ones with tiny supply.[1]
For Pokémon fans tracking prices on sites like PokemonPricing.com, Paul’s story shows how elite cards can hit millions. Watch that auction closely, as it could set new records and shake up values across the market.[1][2]
