Logan Paul on Why Pokemon Cards Look Wild but Hold Steady Like Real Investments
Hey Pokemon card fans, if you have ever watched prices swing up and down on cards like the Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art from Evolving Skies, you might feel like the market is a rollercoaster. One day its sitting at over $2,200, then it drops $155 in a month to around $2,063, making you wonder if its time to sell or hold tight.[1] Thats where Logan Pauls take on alternative assets comes in. The YouTuber and boxer, who has poured millions into Pokemon cards and other collectibles, says these markets feel volatile on the surface but are way more stable underneath than they seem.
Paul points out that everyday folks see the daily price jumps and dips and panic, but zoom out and you see a different story. Take Evolving Skies, still the king of modern sets. Even with Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art dipping near that sub-$2,000 mark for the first time in ages, other cards in the set are holding strong or climbing. Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art shot up to $701, Dragonite V Alternate Art sits at $405, and even lower ones like Glaceon V Alternate Art at $98 keep drawing buyers.[1] Paul compares this to stocks or crypto, where short-term noise hides long-term growth driven by real demand from collectors, nostalgia, and new players.
He explains volatility comes from hype cycles, like when a card hits a low price and buyers swarm in, pushing it back up. Videos tracking 2025 prices show Umbreon dropping from peaks but finding support around $1,000 to $1,350, with sales spiking right at those floors as smart investors scoop them up.[3][5] Paul says thats not chaos, its stability in disguise. Big cards like these dont crash to zero because they have built-in floors from scarcity and fan love. Evolving Skies proves it, staying top dog even as some prices flatten or dip slightly.[1]
Paul invests heavy in Pokemon because he sees the same patterns in other alternatives like art or rare comics. Prices might wobble monthly, like Umbreon V Alternate Art losing $140 lately, but the set as a whole leads the market with chase cards that rebound.[1] He tells collectors to ignore the weekly dips shown in price trackers and focus on trends over months or years. Right now, Rayquaza is surging and could challenge Umbreons throne, showing the market rewards patience.[1]
For PokemonPricing.com readers chasing deals, Pauls advice fits perfect. Cards in the $10 to $80 range see huge interest from gifts and new collectors, with overall growth at 126 percent over two years.[4] High-end ones like those Evolving Skies alternates feel shaky day to day but build wealth for holders who get why the dips are just buying chances. Paul rode these waves himself, turning card hauls into big wins by betting on that hidden steadiness. Next time you see a price drop on TCGPlayer, think like him: volatile looking, stable being.
