Logan Paul, the famous YouTuber and wrestler, has a fresh take on investing that flips the script for Pokemon card collectors. He calls it narrative selection, meaning you pick cards not just for their current price, but for the story they tell that could drive future value.[1][3]
Think about it like this. Pokemon cards are not just pieces of paper with pictures. They carry hype, rarity, and fan excitement that build a narrative over time. Logan Paul says smart investors spot these stories early, like betting on a character or set that captures everyone’s imagination. For example, a card might dip in price now, but if it ties into a big Pokemon event, movie, or collector buzz, its story could send the value soaring later.[5]
In the Pokemon world, we see this play out right now. Take the Groudon Illustration Rare from Paradox Rift. It leads the pack at around $75, but dropped $20 last month as the market cooled. Still, its powerful ancient Pokemon theme keeps the narrative strong for fans chasing chase cards.[2] Or look at Minun and Plusle Illustration Rares, which bucked the trend and climbed to $26 and $24. Their cute partner Pokemon story appeals to nostalgia buyers, proving narrative can lift prices even in a dip.[2]
Logan Paul’s idea fits Pokemon investing perfectly because prices swing wild. Videos show top cards like red Victini monochrome falling from higher peaks to $465, while others flatten around $1,000 support lines.[1][3] High-end vintage sales rebalanced too, with some hammering 64% below past highs, rewarding those who bought the dip on a solid story.[6] Even Misty’s Favor cooled from $200 early 2025, hinting its hype narrative might pause before the next chapter.[7]
For collectors on PokemonPricing.com, this means scout cards with growing tales. Cards in the $10 to $80 range see huge interest from nostalgia and new players, peaking in December.[4] Modern sets like Paradox Rift have Altaria ex at $43 and Roaring Moon ex at $36, where the future Pokemon lore fuels the plot.[2] Pick ones with unique art, event ties, or community love, and you select narratives set to explode.
Logan Paul reframes it simple: forget chasing every spike. Hunt the best stories, hold tight, and watch your collection level up as the market follows the tale.
