Logan Paul auctions ultra-rare Pikachu Card, tells GenZ to bet on alternative assets — are collectibles good investment? · livemint.com

Logan Paul, a famous wrestler and influencer, is selling a very rare and valuable Pokémon card that he bought for $5.3 million.

He got a big offer of $2.5 million just for the advance to sell it to Ken Goldin, who is known for collecting rare items.

Logan Paul thinks young people should consider investing in unique items like Pokémon cards instead of traditional things like stocks.

He believes these collectibles can be a good way to make extra money.

However, experts say that while collectibles can give some returns, they are not as good as long-term investments like stocks.

Pokémon cards have seen a huge increase in value over the past 20 years, making them a hot item in the collectibles market.
