LOGAN PAUL has opened up on his “crazy” rare £4million Pokemon card and explained why it is worth so much.
The social media star holds a Guinness World Record thanks to his mega-expensive piece of cardboard.
Paul achieved the feat after wearing his 1998 Japanese Illustrator card on a chain for his WWE debut in April 2022.
He wore the “Gem Mint 10” graded card alongside The Miz in a tag-team match against Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38.
Over a year on, he recalled the purchase on the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast.
During a discussion about Pokemon cards with guest Prince Royce, Paul explained: “I love it. I love it dude.

“I mean if you like video games that doesn’t surprise me but yeah I spent $5.3million on the card. It’s crazy.”
He later went on to explain why some cards are worth so much.
“That’s the thing with the grading,” added the YouTuber turned wrestler.
“These numbers you guys are hearing, PSA three, PSA four, like it’s one through 10 and if they have the smallest little fragmented one documentation, like any little thing it’ll ding at a point.

“So to find a perfect 10 is insane and it’s the only thing besides, not even the actual card itself, the condition is the most important thing that determines the card’s value and it’s hard to get a 10.”
Singer Royce then asked: “Do you think that the new certification is for real though?
“Like do you think the new certifications are much harder? Like the graders are grading harder now than before? Because they’re saying ‘yo fake a 10 but it’s really nine or whatever’.”
Paul responded by adding: “I totally think that. First off it’s done by humans so a person sitting there can change the value of your card from $30,000 to $250,000.”
A keen Pokemon card trader, Paul has built an impressive collection of the items.
He previously wore a £100,000 shiny Charizard for the ring walk before his exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather in 2021.
However, the total value of his collection is unknown, although Paul did once reveal he had lost £2.8million on fake Pokemon cards.
