Logan Paul Indeed Dropped $3.5 Million On Fake 'Pokémon' Cards

Logan Paul Indeed Dropped $3.5 Million On Fake 'Pokémon' Cards

Looks like Logan Paul is blasting off again.

About three weeks ago, YouTube enfant terrible Logan Paul crowed that he'd just purchased a "sealed and authenticated" box of first-edition Pokémon cards for $3.5 million. Unlike more seasoned Pokémon card collectors, Paul didn't suspect the box was a scam. This set off a chain reaction of YouTube videos and articles detailing the sketchy history of the supposedly million-dollar box and criticism of Logan for yet another seemingly knuckleheaded stunt.

The chatter clearly caught Paul's attention, culminating in a YouTube video where Paul finally opens the box he dropped such an incredible amount of money for, revealing a load of crap.

After a cinematic opening showing Paul venturing to Chicago to ask why the Baseball Card Exchange verified the box was authentic (it appeared sealed and untampered with, a representative explains), he commits to opening the box and slowly learns the scope of his error.

The supposedly super valuable Pokémon cards were revealed to be a load of G.I. Joe cards, which, needless to say, are considerably less valuable than the ultra-rare first-edition Pokémon cards Paul thought he purchased. In short, he lost a lot of money.

"It’s just so sad for all parties involved," Paul said. "It’s sad for the Pokémon community, like how many fraudulent fucking things are out there. I’m grateful for the things I have now that are real. We got fucked. End of story."

As we predicted a week ago, Paul was indeed able to make some good content out of his misfortune. Perhaps next time, he'll do a little more research before throwing his money around willy nilly.
