Logan Paul, the famous YouTuber and wrestler, has a clear message for anyone doubting the value of Pokémon cards: they are not just toys. He proved it by buying a super rare Pikachu Illustrator card for $5.3 million, which set a Guinness World Record as the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold.[1] Now, he plans to auction off this pristine gem, showing how these cards can be serious investments.
Paul’s net worth sits around $150 million, built from his online fame, boxing matches, and smart business moves.[1] Dropping millions on a single card might sound wild, but for collectors on sites like PokemonPricing.com, it highlights the huge demand for top-condition vintage cards. That Pikachu card from 1998 was only given to winners of a contest in Japan, making it one of the rarest out there with just a handful known to exist.
For everyday collectors, Paul’s story means checking your binders could pay off big. Graded cards in perfect shape, like PSA 10s, often skyrocket in value over time. Prices fluctuate based on rarity, condition, and hype from influencers like Paul, so tracking sites helps spot trends. His auction could push values even higher for similar ultra-rares, reminding us Pokémon cards mix nostalgia with real money potential.[1]
