Not to mention, just 23 copies of the Pikachu Illustrator card have been certified to date by the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) responsible for grading cards’ condition. In addition to that, Logan Paul has now become the sole owner of a PSA 10 Illustrator Pikachu trading card.
Moreover, Logan was handed a Guinness World Record for the “Most Expensive Trading Card Sold at a Private Sale.” Let’s hear more about Logan’s story of becoming the sole owner of a PSA 10 Illustrator Pikachu trading card.
How much money did Logan spend on the Illustrator Pikachu trading card?
In the video, before trying to purchase the card, Logan asked his crewmates how much money he should spend on this card. Back in February 2021, Logan decided to spend $4,000,000 on the card; however, in just 24 hours, the deal was canceled. Indeed, it broke Logan’s heart and we could also notice his frustration in the video.
However, after getting aware of a PSA 10 Illustrator Pikachu trading card, Logan couldn’t let this perfect opportunity go by his hands forever. Thus, he again tried to contact the seller only to find out that he raised the price to $6,000,000. Since the price was too high and Logan’s determination was on the roof, the seller gave him another option.
