Logic Drops $226K On Rare Pokémon Card

Retired Rapper Logic Drops Whopping $226K On Incredibly Rare Pokémon Card

Logic announced that he’s retired from rap earlier this year, after dropping his final album and transitioning into his life as a Twitch streamer. The Maryland icon is quite different from other rappers and his recent purchase has ascertain he’s odd.

Logic is not a fan of the drip lifestyle, he neither rocks flashy clothes nor jewelries like most of his peers, instead opting to use his rap money to fulfill childhood dreams.

Logic is now the owner of a 1st edition Charizard Pokémon card that he reportedly dropped $226K on. Logic’s latest purchase marks a new record for the highest bid on a Nintendos collectible ever, though Logan Paul apparently dropped $216K on a base set booster box, as per TMZ.

A PSA 10 Base Set 1st Edition Charizard just sold at auction with an ending bid of $183,812.00 via @IconicAuctions.

Including the 20% buyer’s premium, the total transaction value exceeds $220k.

He took to IG where he revealed a “$23k Pokemon base set box” yesterday before sharing footage of the Charizard unpackaging. “When I was a kid I absolutely loved Pokémon but couldn’t afford the cards,” he wrote.

“I remember even trying to trade food stamps for theirs and now as an adult who has saved every penny he has made being able to enjoy something that I love.”

He continued, “I’ve loved since childhood now as a grown man is like buying back a piece of something I could never have, it’s not about the material it’s about the experience.”
