What started as a one-off video soon turned into a real obsession as he tried to hunt down as many 1st edition boxes as possible. After months of tracking down these increasingly popular items, his bank account has certainly taken a hit. While others have dipped their toes with individual packs or singular cards, Paul has amassed one of the biggest 1st edition collections out there. From struggles behind the scenes to flights interstate, it\u2019s been a lengthy endeavor to get where he is now. Here\u2019s how Paul managed to fork out $2 million on Pokemon cards in a matter of months. Logan Paul confirms $2,000,000 Pokemon card haul 1st edition boxes are some of the rarest Pokemon items in the world today. Individual packs are easier to come by but collectors rarely ever want to part ways with full boxes. As a result, Paul faced tremendous difficulty tracking them down at the tail end of 2020. To kick off his own collection, the first box cost the most of any. He paid $350,000 for this 1st edition box which contains just under 400 Pokemon cards. From there, he bought three more boxes from different sellers at $325,000 each. Next up was \u201cthe biggest transaction of [his] life.\u201d In a single purchase, he splurged on two 1st edition boxes for a whopping $675,000. In total, this brings his overall Pokemon costs to the $2 million mark in just a few short months. How Logan Paul\u2019s \u201ctroubling\u201d hype drove up Pokemon card costs View this post on Instagram As one of the biggest content creators on the internet, there\u2019s plenty of fans around the world keeping up with Paul. However, his Pokemon content reached all-new levels of hype. Millions of viewers came rushing in for unboxing streams and his audience simply couldn\u2019t get enough. While his viewership was soaring, it wasn\u2019t all great news. This surge in Pokemon hype had a major negative impact on the costs moving forward. \u201cAlthough I bought [a box] in September for $200K, they\u2019re now selling for the price point that I set: between $300K-$400K. This was slightly troubling considering the same boxes were selling for $510 in 2007.\u201d Paul openly admitted regret over his initial streams. \u201cI didn\u2019t know it was gonna be as big as it was,\u201d he said. Rather than having to spend $2 million, he could have \u201cbought the boxes before\u201d at a much lower price. He simply \u201cdidn\u2019t think people would care.\u201d Logan Paul\u2019s next Pokemon unboxing stream With this huge stockpile now under his possession, another major event is set in stone. Paul will be hosting the next Pokemon unboxing stream on February 27.
