Logan Paul on Why Internet Culture Drives Up Pokemon Card Prices
Logan Paul, the famous YouTuber and wrestler, has a bold take on investing. He says skip the stock market and go for Pokemon cards instead. Why? Because internet culture supercharges their value in ways traditional investments never could.[1]
Paul recently shared this on Fox Business’s The Big Money Show. He bought a super rare Pikachu card back in 2022 for 5.3 million dollars. Now he’s auctioning it off to prove his point. That card is a one-of-a-kind Japanese promo from 1997. It’s the only known version with a perfect PSA 10 grade, meaning it’s flawless. Even cards with small flaws sell for over 80,000 dollars, based on price guides like Price Charting.[1]
What makes these cards explode in price? Paul points to how the internet fuels hype. Social media stars like him show off their collections on YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter. Fans go wild, collectors bid higher, and prices skyrocket overnight. A quick viral video or tweet can turn a 100-dollar card into a 10,000-dollar gem. It’s not just about rarity anymore. Online buzz creates demand that stock charts can’t match.
Paul targets young investors especially. He says if you are in your 20s or 30s, Pokemon cards might fit your world better than boring stocks. Millennials are already doing this, pouring money into trading cards over old-school assets. The internet turns nostalgia into cash. That childhood Pikachu in your binder? It could be worth a fortune thanks to likes, shares, and streamer flexes.
This trend shows no signs of slowing. Every time a celeb like Paul pulls out a gem on stream, the whole market reacts. Check sites like PokemonPricing.com to track how online hype shifts values daily. Internet culture is the real secret sauce behind those million-dollar sales.
