Logan Paul has revealed that he’s spent over $10 million on Pokémon cards, and doesn’t regret any of his purchases with his collection in a “gangster” position despite some big sales.
Over the last few years, collecting Pokémon cards has been back in style. Collectors have gone wild for both original cards and new releases, with some high prices being paid on both fronts.
Logan Paul has also been on that too, selling boxes of original cards for big money, and owning one of the rarest cards around at one point. The YouTuber-turned-WWE star smashed the world record for the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold at auction when he parted ways with his PSA 10-graded Pikachu Illustrator.
While some may assume that he would regret selling the card, Logan said he didn’t. And, on top of that, he doesn’t regret any of the purchases he’s made over the last few years.

Logan Paul reveals state of his Pokémon collection
During his March 1 appearance on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, the imPaulsive host revealed just how much he’s spent on his collection.
“$10 million, at least,” he said before being asked what his collection currently looks like. “It’s f**king gangster, it’s incredible. I’m sitting in the best position I’ve ever sat in, as far as a collector, because I’ve diversified.
“Five years ago, I was very vocal about collecting Pokémon, then I realized something: if I’m vocal about something and a market spikes and I want more of it then I’ve essentially bid against myself because now everyone is charging 1.5 to 2x of what they were charging because I told the story about it. So now, I’ve been collecting in silence.”
