The controversial YouTuber, who is known for feuding with other YouTubers, making viral videos, and releasing diss tracks recently revealed his love for Pokemon card collecting on Instagram where he shared his current collection, which he only recently began. It’s no secret that collectible card games of all sorts have a lot of money investment for those looking for the rarest cards, from buying booster packs in order to find that one rare card to spending thousands of dollars on that one special card on its own.

During the podcast Paul also revealed he recently spent $216,000 at Heritage Auction on a 1st edition booster box from the base set in 1999. The booster box is said to be extremely rare with very few out in the wild. It’s no surprise that a booster box from that era is so expensive, like many TCGs new sets are introduced into the Pokemon TCG regularly meaning that older sets go out of print, which only drives up the value of the limited quantities of certain cards. While many of the original sets could be found in the homes of collectors now-a-days, others can be found in the oddest places such as an old booster pack recently found at a Target.

In addition, many TCGs have standards for rarities of cards, while some cards are a dime a dozen, others can reach values up into the thousands. Recently, an extremely rare Pokemon TCG card with a Gen Mint 10 rating was sold for $90,000 at an auction. The card, a Super Secret Battle No. 1 Trainer card, featured a holographic Mewtwo. While not the most expensive card, the condition of the card was impeccable, especially considering the card is from 1999.

Meanwhile, the Pokemon TCG is receiving another mini set this February in celebration of Pokemon‘s 25th anniversary in 2021. While details are currently unknown as to what the set will contain, it is known that the set will specifically entail Elite Trainer boxes, pin boxes, and two variant tin sets with no separate booster packs.

Despite the popularity of TCG, many companies, including the Pokemon Company International, have moved to a digital front with online versions of the Pokemon TCG. Due to Covid-19, the typical in-person tournaments have had to refocus to online only, including the popular Pokemon North American International Tournament, which has been reorganized under as new digital tournement called The Play! Pokemon.
