Logan Paul made his WWE WrestleMania debut on Saturday.
Apart from his outstanding performance at the wrestlemania 38, his choice of accessories also made the news.
The 27-year-old YouTuber and professional wrestler-boxer wore the world’s most expensive Pokemon card as a necklace as he entered the rink.
Paul wore a PSA Grade 10 Pikachu Illustrator card that he brought in July last year for $5,275,000 in Dubai.
According to the IndianExpress, the Grade 10 card is considered a “virtually perfect card” that has “four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus, and full original gloss” by PSA, the world’s most acclaimed grading company that authenticates trading cards and other memorabilia.

In recent years, Pokemon cards have become highly sought after collector’s items that are valued at millions of dollars. Paul’s Pikachu Illustrator is one of the rarest Pokemon cards as there are only 39 of those in the world.

While speaking to the Guinness World Records, Paul expressed his disbelief and said, “I applied for so many records and the fact that I finally got one after my first win ever? I come back to the locker room and I get a second win right away?”
“I love Pokémon and the fact that it’s been validated with Guinness World Records – this is crazy. Tonight’s a wild night. This does not feel real!” He added.
