Logan Paul’s Charizard card has sparked huge excitement in the Pokemon card world, pushing collectors to chase rare finds and think bigger about their investments.[1][2]
Back in 2022, Logan Paul dropped over 5 million dollars on a super rare Pikachu Illustrator card, but he is also famous for his love of Charizard cards, the king of Pokemon collectibles.[1][4] Charizard cards top many all-time price lists, like a First Edition Holo that sold for 550,000 dollars in 2025 and a Japanese version hitting 641,721 dollars.[2] Paul is now auctioning his perfect PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator in early 2026, guessing it could fetch 7 to 12 million dollars.[2][4] While that is a Pikachu card, his flashy moves with it have rubbed off on how people view Charizard and other top cards.
Paul turned his card into a necklace with diamonds and wore it at WWE events like WrestleMania, making Pokemon cards feel like celebrity bling.[3] This mix of wrestling, YouTube fame, and collecting grabbed headlines and showed everyone that these cards are not just kid stuff anymore. Young fans saw Paul treat a card like a trophy worth millions, which lit a fire under the hobby.[4]
Now, collectors are acting different because of it. New people, especially younger ones, are jumping in faster. They hunt for high-grade Charizard cards, like PSA 10 versions, knowing one big sale can change everything.[1][2] Paul said on TV that Pokemon cards have beaten the stock market over 20 years, with some investments up 46 percent in just one year.[4] This makes folks braver about spending on rares instead of safe bets like stocks.
Pack sales sell out in seconds, and searches for Pokemon hit 14,000 times an hour on sites like eBay.[4] Collectors chase vintage Charizards from Base Set or early Japanese prints because Paul proved their value can skyrocket.[1][2] Kids and adults alike grade their cards higher, store them better, and watch auctions closely, hoping to spot the next big flip.
His influence shows in record sales too. A 1999 Charizard Holo First Edition PSA 10 went for 550,000 dollars in 2025, and experts expect even wilder numbers soon.[2] People now see Pokemon as a smart play for fun and profit, copying Paul’s bold style. More are negotiating private deals or showing off their collections online to build hype.
This shift means higher prices overall for top Charizards. A Crystal Charizard hit 40,800 dollars, and a test print reached 113,880 dollars.[1] Collectors hold tighter, knowing fame like Paul’s can boost any card’s story and price. Newbies start with modern Charizards but dream of owning something historic, just like their idol.
