YOUTUBER and influencer Logan Paul is best known for his antics in the ring – including boxing and Wrestlemania.
However, he is also a keen Pokemon trader and is no stranger to showing them off
What Pokemon cards has Logan Paul got?
Logan Paul has long been open about his passion for the Game Freak series and has made significant investments in Pokemon cards in the past.
One of his most cherished cards is his shiny Charizard – which he bought for a whopping £110,000.
The Maverick donned the plastic-covered card as a necklace as he made his way to the ring for his exhibition bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather last June.
Paul ended up going the distance with the former five-weight world champion, but his shiny Charizard proved to be one of the biggest talking points among boxing fans.
In the post-fight press conference, Paul said: “This is a Pokemon card. It’s a BGS 10 Charizard – first edition Charizard.
“It’s one of three in the world, it is my prized possession. Ever since I got this graded a 10, the momentum in my life has been crazy.
“This is my good luck charm, my prized possession. Estimated value, I mean now, s**t, this is a million-dollar card, baby.
“This is the card that I walked out to for the Floyd Mayweather fight. This is a million-dollar card.”
How much is Logan Paul’s Pokemon card collection worth?
Paul is thought to have amassed one of the most expensive Pokemon card collections on the planet.
However, it’s exact total worth is unknown.

“I’m a super positive person, bro,” Logan said. “And, I’ll always be the one to look at the bright side, and I am trying, but this is very hard.”

What is Logan Paul’s most expensive Pokemon card?
The experience appeared not to put Logan off as three months later he went onto break the record for purchasing the most expensive Pokemon card in history.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Paul bagged a 1998 Japanese Pikachu Illustrator card – which has been graded “Gem Mint 10” by PSA.
The rare Pikachu was bought in a trade that valued the card at around $4,795,000.
He is said to have parted with a PSA 9 version of the card along with $3,635,633,00 to get his hands on the sole PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator.
Paul revealed he travelled to Dubai in 2021 to get his hands on the card – after five months of negotiation.
The card is only one of 39 in existence and is held in an $80k custom diamond pendant with a Pokéball bail.
Paul first showed off the card as he made his WWE bow at Wrestlemania 38 in April 2022.
