Logan Paul’s $5M Pokémon Card Auction Opens Week Early Due to ‘Overwhelming Demand’

Goldin Auctions has accelerated the opening of Logan Paul’s Pikachu Illustrator auction by one week due to unprecedented global interest. The landmark sale, previously scheduled for Jan. 12, 2026, will now begin Jan. 5, 2026 at 8pm ET. The auction features Paul’s PSA Grade 10 Pikachu Illustrator—the only example to achieve perfect grading—which he purchased for $5.275 million in July 2021.

“This is the biggest Pokémon and trading card game auction ever held, and the unbelievable amount of interest we’ve already received led us to open early” — Ken Goldin, CEO of Goldin Auctions
