Controversial YouTuber and sometimes boxer Logan Paul has gotten into Pokemon cards lately. Paul bought several sealed booster boxes of 1st Edition Base Set cards for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past few months, and to celebrate Pokemon’s 25th anniversary he opened one of the base set boxes. His pulls were impressive, to say the least.

Pokemon cards are having a boost in popularity as of late, due in-part to Paul’s promotion of the hobby to his nearly 23 million subscribers on YouTube and general hype around the franchise's 25th anniversary. This has led to sets selling out and being resold online at huge prices, and has caused problems for fast-food giant McDonald’s, which currently is giving out special Pokemon cards with Happy Meals.

Logan Paul live streamed his opening of the booster box and its 36 packs of 1st Edition Base Set Pokemon TCG cards, which were auctioned off online for an average of $39,206 each. Paul had some amazing pulls, including two first-edition holofoil Charizards, which are some of the rarest and most valuable Pokemon cards in existence. One holofoil 1st Edition Charizard recently sold for over $100,000.

Paul already secured a 1st Edition Charizard for himself last October for $150,000 from Pawn Stars’ Gary. The YouTuber also pulled the other two starters as holofoil cards in their final forms, Venusaur and Blastoise, in addition to Mewtwo, Raichu, and several Chansey. While none are worth as much as Charizard individually, when totaled together the cards he pulled equal over $2,000,000 in value. Paul shared a tweet this morning where he showed off the most valuable cards he pulled.

Recently on his Impaulsive podcast, Paul spoke about his upcoming match with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, saying that the event likely won’t happen until they can safely fill an 80,000-seat stadium. He did add that the game will be broadcast on HBO and Showtime, and that Mayweather’s pre-retirement manager will be returning to help organize.

In other Pokemon news, for its 25th anniversary two new Pokemon games set in the Sinnoh region were announced. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes of the 2007 classics set for release in late 2021, though they will be the first mainline games to not be developed by series creator Game Freak. Instead, Game Freak is developing Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a more unique take on the franchise, with a more action RPG focus, set in the distant past of the Pokemon world. It is due to come out in early 2022.
