The 25th anniversary of Pokemon back in February 2021 saw Logan Paul splurging and breaking open a Pokemon Trading Card Game First Edition box. The box in itself was worth a whopping $1M.

The entire process was streamed live on Logan Paul's official YouTube channel. The stream was viewed by over 200,000 Pokemon enthusiasts from all over the world.

Building the experience of the break, Logan Paul waltzed into the set of the stream in a life-sized costume. He was dressed as one of, if not the most, beloved Pokemon, a Charizard.

Ken Goldin from Goldin Auctions was present on-site to offer a professional outlook on all the cards that the YouTuber pulled. Goldin offered Paul and his fans a tremendous amount of insight into the value of the cards.

Within the first 30 minutes, Paul managed to retrieve one holographic Chansey and the most sought-after card in the biz, a holographic Charizard. He subsequently went on to draw two more Chanseys, another Charizard, a Blastoise, a Venasaur, an Alakazam, two Raichus, a Gyarados and a Mewtwo.
