Logan Paul, the famous YouTuber and wrestler, has been making waves in the Pokemon card world again. He recently argued that Pokemon cards have permanent demand, meaning people will always want them no matter what. This idea ties right into his own collecting adventures and some wild market stories.[1]
Paul knows the Pokemon scene inside out after dropping $3.5 million on a sealed box of old cards. He thought it was a huge score, authenticated by experts, but it turned out to be part of a massive scam. That did not stop him from jumping back in. Just lately, he bid big on a signed Kabuto card from the Fossil set during a hot auction. Even though he lost in the last seconds, his move put this forgotten card on the map.[1]
Take the Kabuto King craze as proof of Paul’s point. This 1st Edition Fossil Kabuto card used to sell for just $1 to $3 raw. Graded ones barely got more. Then a super collector crowned it “Kabuto King” with memes of a crab wearing a crown. Prices exploded. Raw copies now go for $20 or higher. PSA 9s doubled or tripled. PSA 10s hit four figures, all from community hype alone.[1]
Paul’s involvement sealed the deal. His bid brought mainstream eyes to Kabuto, spiking interest. Even related cards like Kabutops started climbing, with 1st Edition holos selling in the tens of dollars and trending up. Collectors jumped in without paying Kabuto’s new sky-high prices.[1]
This shows why Paul calls the demand permanent. A simple story or celebrity nod can turn a cheap card into a hot item overnight. Prices stick because fans keep chasing the thrill. For PokemonPricing.com readers, watch these trends. One viral moment could boost your collection’s value fast.[1]
