Because that’s exactly what we need right now, a Pokemon NFT from Logan Paul.
YouTuber Logan Paul not only bought one of the world’s most expensive Pokémon cards recently, it has now been revealed that he is turning it into an NFT. Yes, you read that right, Logan Paul turns a Pokémon card into an NFT.
The news comes with the permission of a video posted by Paul, with coverage from outlets like Kotaku. The card in question, a rare 1998 Pikachu Illustrator card, was purchased by Paul for a staggering $ 5,275,000, breaking the Guinness Book of World Records for the “most expensive Pokémon trading card sold at private sale.”

The incredible value comes not only from its rarity, but also because the card was rated 10 by PSA, which is reserved for Gem Mint cards. According to the PSA website, the card Paul bought at the moment is the only known Pikachu Illustrator card.
If the attention from buying such a card was not enough, he made sure to remind people that it was in his possession in the most Logan Paul-like way imaginable by wearing it around his neck during his WrestleMania fight back in April. Now he reminds people again that he has it by noting that it will be listed as an NFT on July 9 on the Liquid Marketplace platform for $ 0.10 each.
As noted by Kotaku with respect to the Liquid Marketplace, “The Platform currently has hardly any online presence, history or information, but shares a mission to ‘give collectors the opportunity to own physical and digital assets through the power of tokenization’ on its premises. page.”
In addition to all this, Paul also requires a 49 percent minority ownership of the card, and will store it in a TBD community.
It will be interesting to see how much interest, if any, there will be around NFT when the listing goes on the air on 9 July. Until then, as always, we look forward to hearing what you think about Logan Paul not only owning the world’s most expensive Pokémon card, but deciding to turn it into an NFT.
