Logan Paul and the Big Bet on Pokémon Cards
If you collect Pokémon cards, you have probably heard about Logan Paul. He is a famous YouTuber, wrestler, and now a big name in the Pokémon world. Recently, he announced plans to auction off one of the rarest cards ever: a pristine Pikachu Illustrator card valued at $5.3 million. This card is in perfect condition, making it super special for collectors.[1]
Paul does not just own this card for fun. He sees Pokémon collecting as a smart long-term investment. Instead of putting money into the stock market, he pushes people to buy high-quality collectibles like these cards. Why? Cards from the early days of Pokémon have gone up in value a lot over time. That Pikachu card started as a promo item in Japan back in 1998. Only a few exist, and top ones like Paul’s keep getting pricier as fans and investors chase them.
Think of it like this: Pokémon cards are not just pieces of paper with cool artwork. They are like rare art or vintage cars. The best ones, called PSA 10s because they got a perfect grade from experts, hold value over decades. Paul says collectibles beat stocks because they are fun to own and can grow steadily if you pick the right ones. He built his own collection worth tens of millions by focusing on these gems.
For collectors on PokemonPricing.com, this means watching cards with strong stories or low print runs. A long horizon bet is about patience. Buy now, store them safely, and check prices years from now. Paul’s auction shows how one card can turn into life-changing money. It also brings more eyes to the hobby, which can lift prices for everyone.
Paul plans to sell his Pikachu soon through a big auction house. If it hits that $5.3 million mark, it would break records again. Keep an eye on sites like ours for live price updates and tips on grading your own cards. Collecting smart could be your ticket to a big payoff down the road.
