Logan Paul just cashed out one of the biggest deals in Pokemon card history, and he’s crediting alternative assets like these cards for changing how he thinks about money.[1]
Three years ago, Paul dropped $5.3 million on what he calls the Holy Grail of all Pokemon cards. This gem set a record back then as the most expensive Pokemon card ever sold.[1] He bought it with Ken Goldin, the collectibles expert from the Netflix show King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch. That purchase is now a key story in season 3 of the series.[1]
Fast forward to now, and Paul is selling it. He told CNN the market has likely jumped three to four times since he got it, beating the S&P 500 by a whopping 3,000% over those years.[1] While he did not share the final sale price in the interview, teaming up again with his vlog channel and Goldin means this could smash records once more.[1]
Paul sees Pokemon cards and other collectibles as smart plays outside traditional investments. They shaped his financial mindset, showing him how these assets can grow huge value fast.[1] For collectors watching prices daily, this move highlights why rare cards like this one keep drawing big money from high-profile buyers.
In the same chat, Paul touched on his wrestling career and his brother Jake’s upcoming fight, with a fun cameo from their mom. But for us Pokemon fans, the card sale steals the show as a reminder of the wild potential in the hobby.[1]
