Logan Paul is back in the ring, but this time, it’s not WWE or YouTube boxing.
It’s the high-stakes world of collectibles, and the latest season of King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch on Netflix just dropped a bombshell: Paul’s ultra-rare Pokémon Illustrator card is on the auction block, and it’s already pushing close to $5 million.
Logan Paul’s Pokémon Illustrator Up for Sale
In Season 3 of the Netflix hit series, collector and entrepreneur Ken Goldin sits down with Logan Paul to orchestrate the sale of what is arguably the most famous Pokémon card in the world: the PSA 10-graded Pikachu Illustrator.
It’s the only copy in the world with that pristine grade, and the current bid is already at $4.8 million—with 33 days left to go.
But this isn’t just another listing. Goldin tells Paul that not only will he be paid for the sale of the card, he’ll also get a cut of the entire lot it’s a part of.
As part of the deal, Paul walks away with a staggering $2.5 million advance—the largest single check he’s ever received, calling it “not bad for a kid from Ohio.”

An Auction Set-Up Featuring Hulk Hogan Rookie Cards and Tobacco Card Surprises
The buildup to the Pokémon deal is classic Goldin TV.
The season opens with a bang as Ken and Paul open a sealed box of 1985 WWF cards, pulling multiple Hulk Hogan rookie cards, valued at up to $50,000 apiece if they achieve a perfect 10.0 grade.
Then comes one of the season’s wildest moments: Ken gambles $38,000 on an unopened tobacco card box said to be from the same batch that originally produced the legendary Honus Wagner T206 card. But when he finally opens it—nothing. The box is empty, and Goldin and Paul are stunned.
Be sure to watch the next episode, because what happens is even more unbelievable!
The Most Valuable Pokémon Card on the Planet
The crown jewel of this season—and maybe the entire collectibles market—is Logan Paul’s Pikachu Illustrator card.
The PSA 10 card is also a Guinness World Record holder for the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold, originally acquired by Paul in a high-profile Dubai deal.
Fans may remember Paul wearing the card—set in a diamond-encrusted Pokéball necklace—during his WWE debut at WrestleMania 38. He later lent it to Ken for a boxing event featuring his brother Jake Paul.
The card’s legacy includes:
- The only PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator in existence
- Set in a $75,000 custom necklace made with over 70 carats of VVS1 natural diamonds
- Personally hand-delivered by Logan Paul to the winning bidder, anywhere in the world
Originally created in 1997 as a prize for a CoroCoro Comic art contest, only 41 copies of the Pikachu Illustrator were ever officially distributed. Paul’s PSA 10 version is considered the pinnacle of the Pokémon card world.
