Logan Paul turns $ 5 million Pokémon Pikachu card into NFT
In a new videoYouTuber and professional wrestler Logan Paul shared how he bought an extremely rare Pikachu Illustrator Pokémon short from 1998, as the PSA’s grading company rated a minty ten and for which Paul paid a full $ 5,275,000. The video also reveals the harrowing truth: He turns the precious Pikachu into an NFT.
Since at least 2020, Logan Paul has enjoyed spending millions of dollars fart joke fortune on expensive Pokémon short, as he then mines to contents to amass an even greater fortune. Paul introduced his latest flashy acquisition, the $ 5.2 million holographic Pikachu, to the public by wearing it on a heavy golden necklace around his neck in front of his WrestleMania match in April. He looked like a banana, or to be more specific, a banana with a Pikachu chain.
I think that’s the name of a Vermeer painting. Anyway, in the video, Paul said it took him months to get the card, which says the PSA’s website is the only known Pikachu Illustrator card.
Before his WrestleMania stunt, Paul says that there was no publicly available information on the coin card, and that none of his fart collector friends had ever seen it in person. In February 2021, however, he received an Instagram DM from the owner’s representative who said he wanted to sell.
The seller ended up refusing to accept Paul’s first offer of $ 4 million, but four months later Paul contacted a mutual friend and tried to make another, more delicious one. They settled on $ 4 million and a PSA-rated 9 Pikachu Illustrator card, which Paul could easily find from a fart collector in his network and buy for $ 1.25 million.
He forked over the card and cash in perfect condition Pikachu’s anonymous original owner, broke the Guinness record for “most expensive Pokémon trading cards sold by private sale »and lived happily ever after. The card itself, on the other hand, will live trembling and crying in blockchain captivity – July 9 at 15.00 EST it will be listed as an NFT on “Platform” he “co-founded”, Liquid Marketplace.
The platform currently has hardly any online presence, history or information, but shares a mission to “give collectors the opportunity to own physical and digital assets through the power of tokenization” on the about page. I hope it’s compelling enough that you can take out a $ 5 million loan so you can buy 50 million tokens for $ 0.10 per pop, which is the price Paul is referring to NFT on the site.
Paul will require a minority, 49% ownership of the card, which means it will be stored in a TBD community, but he can carry it to multiple WrestleManias if the majority symbol holders allow him to. Hi, not heaven with eyes like that. Paul deserves to push the innocent out Pokémon fans in the name of functionally meaningless collective ownership. He is the biggest Pikachu fan in the world.
I have proof. Before handing over the mint card in his video, someone outside the camera said to Paul, “Hm. You love Pikachu.”
“Yes, he’s the best, brother,” Paul replied. There you have it. The greatest mind of our generation, brother.
