Youtuber und WWE-Star Logan Paul hat letzte Nacht Geschichte geschrieben und eine sehr seltene Pokémon-Karte für 16,492 Millionen Dollar (umgerechnet rund 14 Millionen Euro) verkauft. Der Höchstbietende erhält zudem die mit Diamanten besetzte Halskette, in der Paul die Karte bei seinem WWE-Debüt trug. Das Sammlerstück - die "Pikachu Illustrator"-Karte - wird in Fankreisen auch der "Heilige Gral" genannt. Laut Sammlerforen existieren weltweit schätzungsweise nur rund 40 Exemplare dieser Karte.
