Moving away from the slog of YouTube theatrics and celebrity boxing, Logan Paul has made a name for himself in the collectibles space. It would make sense given that an individual with access to millions of dollars like Paul would take a dip in an industry worth over $300 billion.
Paul’s magnum opus since entering this space was buying a PSA Grade 10 Pikachu Illustrator Pokémon trading card for $5,275,000 in July 2021 and then selling it for a record $16.5 million through Goldin this past February.
This is the most expensive trading card sale ever.
Unfortunately for Logan, not even a full year has passed with this record intact, as Paul took to socials to speak about a sale that may have broken the record he set earlier this year.
“I’mma keep my mouth shut. I think my record’s been beaten. It’s not my news to break… that’s all I’m going to say,” said Paul while ripping open packs online.
He provided no further details on the sale. It’s unclear whether it is a sports trading card, a Pokémon card, or another vertical, such as Magic: The Gathering. The sale amount has also not been disclosed.
There is, however, a contender.
Which Card Could’ve Potentially Broken the Record?
October 2026 recorded $1.07 billion in card sales, making it the first time in collectibles history that a 10-figure month has ever been registered.
So, it’s clear that collectors are willing to dish out boatloads of cash for cards they deem to be worth the exorbitant price tags that have been placed on them.
One such card that has long been undervalued is the 1952 Topps PSA 10 Mickey Mantle. There are reportedly only three in existence, with the most expensive auction for this card realizing at $12.6 million on August 28, 2022, through Heritage Auctions.
While this is quite an absurd amount, many aficionados of the space believe this is far too low.
Geoff Wilson recently said, “I’ve said that this is a $50 million card for the last couple of years. My take on it is $50 million is too low.”
He believes the card would easily command upwards of $100 million.
There is no precedent for a card selling for such a high number, but according to Patrick Bet-David, the aforementioned $50 million number may have materialized.
On his podcast, he revealed he was involved in a sale for the PSA 10 Mantle, which sold for $50 million. He provided no further details about the exact amount, the buyer, or when this deal took place.
Ken Goldin vehemently rejected the notion of such a deal taking place, saying on X, “That is false news. An aggressive rumor that is not true; I can state that with 100% fact. A 1952 mantle has NOT sold for $50 million.”
If there’s one man who would be privy to such a deal, it would be Goldin. Though, with PBD’s confidence about the sale and Logan’s claim coming to the forefront mere days later, this Mantle card could potentially be the one that was sold.
