WWE Superstar and YouTuber Logan Paul has officially put his prized PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card up for auction through Goldin Auctions, marking what could be one of the most significant collectibles sales in history.
The auction, which launched on Pokémon's 30th anniversary, features the only perfect-graded version of the legendary 1998 Pikachu Illustrator card in existence. Paul originally acquired the card in July 2021 for $5.3 million in a record-breaking trade, which included a PSA 9 Illustrator card plus $4 million cash.
Current bidding has already reached $2.3 million, with the auction scheduled to close on February 15, 2026. Paul announced he will personally hand-deliver the card to the winning bidder, complete with the custom diamond-encrusted chain he wore during his WrestleMania 38 debut.
The Pikachu Illustrator card holds a Guinness World Record as the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold and is considered the "holy grail" of Pokémon Trading Card Game collectibles. Only 39 copies were originally produced as prizes for a 1998 CoroCoro Comic illustration contest in Japan, designed by Pikachu's original creator, Atsuko Nishida.
Paul famously wore the card around his neck at WrestleMania 38 and during his boxing match against Anthony Joshua in Miami.
The card's auction represents a major crossover moment between WWE/wrestling fans and high-end Pokémon collectors, testing whether the market can match or exceed Paul's original purchase price. Goldin Auctions, known for facilitating record-breaking sales of sports cards and memorabilia, is handling the historic transaction.
Bidding remains open through mid-February, with collectors and investors worldwide watching to see if the card will set a new world record.
