Logan Paul’s Pokemon Card Box A Fake!

Logan Paul has admitted that his $3,500,000 package of Pokemon Cards from the “1st Edition Base Set” is a fake, just days after numerous notable collectors questioned its validity.

Logan Paul revealed his large collection of Pokemon Cards to his fans on Instagram in September 2020, arousing the interest of millions of his fans. His message introduced his viewers to the concept that the TCG is both art and a sound investment. Paul said on December 5, 2021, that he had paid $3.5 million for a “one of a kind” case of 1st Edition Base Set Pokemon cards.

At the moment, it was unclear what his strategy for the case was, but it rapidly took a turn when notable Pokemon TCG collectors startled the YouTuber when they joined together with proof that his box might not be genuine.

Logan Paul has officially opened the package to see if it’s real or not, and he has confirmed that it is not. It is indeed fake.

Logan Paul reported on January 13 that he had lost $3,500,000 after they opened the shipment and found fake booster boxes. Logan had travelled to Chicago to meet with BBCE, the organization that had first verified the authenticity of the box. The BBCE employee who authenticated it detailed the procedures he followed to sign off on the case in the video. When they opened the package of allegedly Pokemon cards, however, they instantly saw something was incorrect. They chose to open one after comparing the contents to one of Logan’s known real boxes. 

Fans from all over the world reacted to Logan’s findings after the YouTuber shared the link to his video on Twitter. Another Logan fan expressed his hope that this experience will not deter Logan from collecting more Pokemon cards in the future. 

The collectors who initially claimed Paul’s box could be a fake have yet to comment on the outcomes of the case opening as of this writing.
