Logan Paul on Why Pokemon Cards and Alternative Assets Shine Over the Long Haul
If you collect Pokemon cards, you have probably noticed prices bouncing around lately. Big names like Logan Paul, who invests heavily in cards and other alternative assets, often point out that these items do best when you hold them for years, not days. He says short-term flips can be risky with all the ups and downs, but patient collectors win big over time. Think of it like planting a seed: it might not grow fast, but give it seasons and it turns into a strong tree.
Right now, in December 2025, the market shows this perfectly. Take the Evolving Skies set, still the king for modern collectors. Its top card, Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art, just dropped over 155 dollars to around 2,063 dollars on TCGPlayer. That puts it close to breaking under 2,000 dollars for the first time in ages.[1] Umbreon V Alternate Art fell about 140 dollars too, sitting at 429 dollars.[1] Even with these dips, the set holds strong with cards like Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art climbing to 701 dollars and Dragonite V Alternate Art at 406 dollars.[1]
Videos from collectors echo Logan Paul’s long-view advice. One breaks down 2025’s top cards, noting how prices dipped from peaks like 300 dollars in October but some, like certain Victini cards, hold steady around 425 to 465 dollars after small drops.[2] Another points out Umbreon stabilizing near 1,000 dollars after hitting lows around 800 dollars, way above older supports like 320 dollars.[3] Dips happen, but they create buy chances if you plan to keep cards long-term.
Trends back this up. Pokemon cards appeal to kids, adults chasing nostalgia, and players, with prices mostly in the 10 to 80 dollar range that fits quick buys or bundles.[4] Modern sets like Surging Sparks and Temporal Forces are cheaper now than peaks, as some fans shift to other games like One Piece.[6] Spikes and dips keep coming, like Misty’s Favor cooling from 200 dollars early in 2025.[7]
Logan Paul’s take fits the pattern: alternative assets like sealed boxes or chase cards reward those who wait out the noise. Umbreon hit 2,400 dollars after a buying rush at 1,350 dollars, then pulled back, proving quick sales miss the rebound.[5] For PokemonPricing.com readers, track these moves on sites like TCGPlayer, grab dips in strong sets, and hold tight. Your collection could look very different in five years.
