Logan Paul wore £3.8m Pokemon card to Wrestlemania for WWE debut

Paul purchased the Grade 10 Pikachu Illustrator card last year

Logan Paul wore his famous £3.8 million Pokemon Card to Wrestlemania at the weekend, with the YouTube star making his WWE debut. The 27-year-old purchased the PSA Grade 10 Pikachu Illustrator card in Dubai in July 2021. By doing so, Paul broke the record for the most expensive Pokemon trading card sold at a private sale after spending a staggering $5,275,000 (£3,862,424) on the item.

WWE debut at Wrestlemania

While most people would, understandably, be nervous about wearing an item that expensive out in public, the YouTuber-turned-boxer opted to wear the card as he made his WWE wrestling debut at WrestleMania 38 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas. As Paul entered the area alongside The Mix - who he teamed up with for a tag team match against Rey and Dominik Mysterio – the Pokemon card could be seen hanging from his neck. Prior to his debut, the YouTuber posted a photo of himself wearing the item on Instagram, writing: "WRESTLEMANIA TONIGHT". https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb3K7TDJymn/ In order to get his hands on the expensive card, Paul exchanged a PSA Grade 9 Pikachu Illustrator card worth $1,275,000 that he had purchased from sports card collector Matt Allen in Como, Italy.

According to Guinness World Records, the Grade 9 card plus $4,000,000 equalled the cost of the sought-after Grade 10 Pikachu Illustrator card.
