YouTuber, boxer, and entrepreneur Logan Paul has once again captured global attention by putting his record-breaking Pokémon card up for auction — the same rare card he famously purchased for an astonishing $5.275 million, making it the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold.
The card, a pristine Pikachu Illustrator graded PSA 10, is considered the holy grail of Pokémon collectibles. Only a handful of these cards exist worldwide, and Logan Paul’s copy is the only one known to hold a perfect PSA 10 grade, significantly increasing its value and prestige among collectors.
Logan Paul originally made headlines when he acquired the card through a private deal and proudly wore it around his neck during a major boxing event, instantly turning the collectible into a pop-culture icon. The purchase not only shattered records in the trading card world but also pushed Pokémon memorabilia into mainstream financial and cultural conversations.
Now, by placing the card up for auction, Paul is signaling what could become one of the most closely watched sales in collectibles history. Industry experts believe the card could match or even surpass its previous record price, depending on market demand and bidder competition.
Auction officials expect intense interest from elite collectors, investors, and Pokémon enthusiasts worldwide. The sale highlights the explosive growth of the collectibles market, where rare cards are increasingly viewed as alternative investments alongside art, watches, and classic cars.
Speaking about the decision, Logan Paul has described the card as both a passion purchase and a symbol of his journey from internet creator to global brand. While he has not confirmed whether he plans to sell outright or test market interest, the move alone has reignited excitement in the Pokémon community.
