Logan Paul set a new world record by selling a rare Pokémon trading card for a staggering $16.5 million. On Monday, the Pikachu Illustrator card sold at Goldin Auctions after 41 days of bidding. Guinness World Records confirmed it as the highest auction price for any trading card. Paul bought the same card in 2021 for $5.275 million, a record then. He added a diamond necklace and a custom case and wore it at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. The card comes from a 1998 contest, and only a few dozen exist.
