On December 20, controversial YouTuber and boxer Logan Paul revealed on Twitter that he had purchased an "authenticated" box of first-edition Pokemon cards for a staggering $3.5 million. The purchase was reported as one of, if not the largest Pokemon TCG acquisitions ever made. The rarity of unopened first-edition Pokemon TCG booster boxes, let alone a packaged box of six of them, was undeniable. At least, its value and rarity were undeniable before evidence grew that the Pokemon cards box was fake.
