If you love Pokemon, then you might have definitely heard the famous saying – ‘You gotta catch ’em all’, and it looks like Logan Paul did just that! The YouTuber spent a whopping USD$2 million on unopened boxes of first edition Pokémon cards.
Most of us would either buy a mansion, or cars or luxury holidays if we had $2m lying around. But YouTuber Logan Paul decided to buy boxes of Pokemon cards.
In the video, Paul told his fans that he spent three months looking for unopened 1st edition Pokémon boxes, which were the first to ever be released.
He bought six boxes, some of which cost $400,000 each. They each contain 36 packs with around 400 cards in them.
It’s not known which Pokémon characters are inside but individual cards could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He is going to auction off dozens of packs with the starting price at $10,000. When, you ask? Logan Paul said he’ll start opening them on Pokémon Day.
The Livestream — done in partnership with Goldin Auctions and will be hosted on Paul’s YouTube channel.
Those who are interested can “bid on the ability to win” one of 36 packs contained in one of his six First Edition Base Set Booster Boxes. The contents will be revealed by Paul during the livestream.
Each pack will have a starting bid of $10,000, and winning bidders will also receive one of 44 Logan Paul NFG (non-fungible token) digital art cards.
“This is a newfound obsession of mine and I am so excited to share it with other enthusiasts around the world,” he wrote on social media.
Paul’s obsession with collecting the boxes sparked after an October 2020 charity stream, during which he unboxed a first-edition booster box he bought for $200,000 to raise $130,000 for the National Alliance On Mental Illness.
Over 300,000 people watched the live stream, and the video has since accumulated over 11 million views. After seeing reactions to the video, Paul committed to buying every single box set “on the planet.”
Logan Paul’s 36-pack Pokémon card auction is scheduled for February 27th, 2021 — Pokémon Day and the franchise’s 25th anniversary.
