Logan Paul has officially confirmed that he is selling the most valuable Pokémon card in the world, sending shockwaves through the global collectibles community.

Following an appearance on Fox News, Paul revealed that his PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card—widely regarded as the holy grail of Pokémon cards—is heading to auction this February. The card is famously known as the only PSA 10 copy in existence, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after trading cards ever produced.

Paul originally purchased the card in 2022 for $5.3 million, a transaction that earned him a Guinness World Record for the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold. Since then, the Pikachu Illustrator has become a symbol of the explosive growth and mainstream recognition of the trading card hobby.

A Defining Moment for the Hobby

The announcement has instantly sparked debate and speculation across the collectibles world. With Pokémon card values continuing to rise and high-end collectibles attracting global investors, collectors are now asking the big question: will the card sell for more than $5.3 million—or redefine the market entirely?

The Pikachu Illustrator card was originally awarded in the late 1990s to winners of a Pokémon illustration contest in Japan and has long been considered the ultimate prize in Pokémon collecting. Its combination of extreme rarity, pristine condition, and celebrity ownership has only amplified its status.

What Comes Next?

As the auction date approaches, all eyes will be on the bidding room. Whether the card shatters records once again or resets expectations for ultra-high-end collectibles, one thing is certain: this sale will be a landmark moment for the Pokémon hobby.

From seasoned collectors to first-time observers, the entire community will be watching closely as Logan Paul’s iconic Pikachu Illustrator card returns to the open market.

How much will it sell for?

The countdown to February has officially begun.
