Logan Paul Bought Fake Pokemon Cards For $3.5 Million
Logan Paul, YouTuber, fighter, and idiot, is a known Pokemon enthusiast. He wore his $150K Charizard around his neck at one of his fights, if you were unsure of his enthusiasm. He has spent millions on special collections. This very same Logan Paul bought fake Pokemon cards for $3.5 million dollars.
That’s right. Logan Paul bought fake Pokemon cards for $3.5 million.
S#@! I Shouldn’t Have Thrown Out My Old Pokemon Cards!
No, you shouldn’t have. There is currently a Pokemon card rush hitting valuations in the thousands. That binder your parents told you to throw out could have been potentially worth millions.
How Did Logan Paul End Up With Fake Cards?
Paul has shared some of his Pokemon purchases on his YouTube channel. This set in particular had some people buzzing online that it was fake. In response to the speculation, Paul decided to fly to Chicago to see the Baseball Card Exchange (BBCE).
These are the card guys. The previous owner, card collector Matt Allen, claimed that this potentially fake set had been verified by the BBCE.
Seems legit, right?
Well…
In a dramatic reveal, Paul, Allen, the BBCE, and onlookers opened the boxes in question to find that they weren’t Pokemon cards at all.
They were G.I. Joe collectible cards.
“We all got duped.”
How exactly did the BBCE get “duped?” How did the most credible card valuation organization in the country confuse G.I. Joe for Pikachu? Do they even look at the cards they’re valuing?
In the video, Allen said that he never would have purchased the set if it wasn’t approved by the BBCE.
Paul, visibly angry, said in his super positive bro tone:
“I’m a super positive person, bro, and I’ll always be the one to look at the bright side. And I’m trying by this is very hard.”
Bro, you spent $3.5 million on G.I. Joe cards. Did you not look at them before you dropped millions? Are you making so much money that you can get “duped” for the views, bro?
One thing’s for certain. Logan Paul bought fake Pokemon cards.
