Logan Paul Sells 'Perfect' Pikachu Illustrator Card for a Jaw-Dropping $16.5 Million

Logan Paul has once again captured global attention after selling one of the rarest Pokémon cards in existence, the Pikachu Illustrator, for an astonishing $16.5 million (£12 million). The record-breaking sale, conducted by auction house Goldin, makes it the most expensive trading card ever sold at auction.

Paul originally purchased the card in 2021 for $5.3 million (£3.9 million), setting a Guinness World Record at the time. Four years later, the resale has more than tripled in value.
