WWE Superstar Logan Paul was all over the news today after
he managed to sell the “holy grail” of Pokemon cards for a
whopping $16.5 million.
The sale price, verified by the Guinness World Records, is
not only the highest-ever for a Pokemon card, but for any
trading card ever.
Paul purchased the card, a rare Pikachu Illustrator card,
for $5.275 million five years ago and actually made his
entrance at WrestleMania 38 with it after he attached it to
a diamond encrusted necklace. Paul also gave the necklace
away with the card.
The auction, with Goldin, led Paul to an estimated $8
million in profit after fees.
