Over the past few years, Pokemoncard collecting has seen a massive resurgence as many collectors and fans seek out the game's rarest and most valuable cards. Some of the earliest Pokemon Trading Card Game cards have seen sales in recent years topping hundreds of thousands of dollars. An auction earlier this year saw a copy of the coveted «Pokemon Illustrator» card sell for $900,000, setting a new world record for Pokemon cards. The Pokemon craze has even seen several online personalities getting in on the trend with Logan Paul among the most notable.

Logan Paul has made himself very familiar with the Pokemon Trading Card Game's community of passionate collectors over the last year. Paul has regularly made high-profile purchases of classic Pokemon cards between the infamous fake first edition base set box and a graded PSA 10 version of the previously mentioned Illustrator card. Paul has amassed a massive collection of valuable Pokemon cards since investing in the hobby. Now, he's planning to sell some of his graded Pokemon cards later this weekend through auction platform Whatnot.
