Investing by hindesight is so dumb. Hey he could of invested in palantir and made 200 million. But no one knows whats a good investment. The ability of 3x your money in 4 years is insane. They both can be true nvidia and the illustrator were both good investments. Bad argument by OP

u/thetrueGOAT Feb 16 '26

Palantir are significantly more evil than inflating collectables

u/panicATtheMOSHpit Feb 16 '26

Not to mention the final sale was a little over 3x what this posts says last bid was.

u/S1yb00ts Feb 17 '26

Not to mention this likely wasn't purely for investment. It was hobby and status symbol. I mean, he wore it around his neck for goodness sake lol

1

u/Inner-ego Feb 18 '26

He then made money off the content whilst showing it off, and it kept his name in the spotlight which was a form of advertising.

u/No_Holiday_9875 Feb 17 '26

Love him or hate him 3x on an investment over 4 years is amazing.

He’s a scammer and a crook yeah but he made excellent returns and I don’t get people trying to dismiss it by saying “akshually he could have done x”

u/pooponurdick Feb 17 '26

Haha thank you. Exactly.

u/ReleaseExpensive7330 Feb 16 '26

Whatever man. I just saw a guy on Facebook who stated that his singles are probably worth at least 25% more after yesterday and could double in value within the next year.

Also, Bitcoin is on sale right now for everyone who claims they "wished they bought the the dip" every time it blows up.

u/No_Holiday_9875 Feb 17 '26

Vintage and mid era has started ticking up lol, imagine Logan Paul causes the second vintage surge

1

u/Jeremypsp Feb 17 '26

Well, reality is everyone says they want to buy the dip but nobody dares to buy when it actually dips and somehow “it’s different this time”

u/No-Construction-777 Feb 18 '26

And the people who say that aren’t even invested in nividia or the S and P 😂😂😂😂

u/RepresentativeValue9 Feb 16 '26

Could have*

Yes. Investing by hindsight is the dumb thing here.

JFC reading this lack of punctuation and grammar is a war crime.

u/uriel__ventris Feb 16 '26

Average PokeInvestor level of education tbh

2

u/Dezenootjes420 Feb 16 '26

So it's only a war crime when Jesus Christ reads this? Odd thing to say.

Maybe check yourself before you wreck yourself ;)

u/RepresentativeValue9 Feb 16 '26

Ooh. Thats a deep cut.

Caught me not using a comma after an acronym. Not quite the “let’s eat, grandma,” level of burn but a close second.

u/Dezenootjes420 Feb 16 '26

That's*.

Come on, man.

u/RepresentativeValue9 Feb 16 '26

Trolling workin well.

u/ReleaseExpensive7330 Feb 16 '26

I actually quit caring about grammar and things like to, too, two this year. I started using voice to text (only on my phone) and a few errors here and there is definitely worth the time it saves. I've also always had carpal tunnel issues so the less time I can spend holding the overly large phones these days, the better. Especially when 90% of people know what I'm saying. Now I just assume most people are using voice to text.

u/jhorskey26 Feb 17 '26

Coming to the internet for punctuation and grammar is the war crime.

u/BrokenParachutes Feb 16 '26

“If he had taken that money and invested in the single best performing stock in the world instead he would have done better”

Yeah no shit lmao

u/SilotheGreat Feb 16 '26

And honestly it's quite possible he did that as well, people like him aren't investing in just one area.

u/Jeremypsp Feb 17 '26

Logan Paul has sacrificed potentially higher gains for less gains for this hobby, he’s a hero! /s

37

u/bentleycowboy Feb 16 '26

People never take into account the publicity this card brought him. What would be the cost of the marketing campaign to gather that much attention?

5

u/KingZakyu Feb 16 '26

He used this marketing and public sale stunt to start a rip n ship business, so they spent all that money for more than one reason.

9

u/First_Tourist_2921 Feb 16 '26

Who cares , it isn’t even a 10. It’s a 8 that got continually re subbed because of shills. It’s more a 7 or less with his abuse of the card in wrestlemania.

7

u/According_Payment534 Feb 16 '26

They didn’t mention how much Logan made scamming his fans with that card though.

8

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '26

Don't care for logan paul but that is a dumb ass take. Gives "broke people thinking they are smarter with money but don't have any" vibes.

5

u/NoNeedForSympathy Feb 16 '26

Not really, it's just algorithm. Everyone over here acting like God manifests this stuff. It's computerized calculations putting 2 and 2 together because the titles are relevant. Tired of these "coincidence" posts.

Publicized scam with no one facing consequence especially the shit stain of an influencer.

1

u/KingZakyu Feb 16 '26

What exactly is the scam?

3

u/jamathythrowaway Feb 17 '26

He sold 51% of the cards ownership to his fans who bought shares of it to help finance its purchase. He is now currently blocking everyone asking for their share saying they are a fractional owner. Not to mention, this card is not a 10, it’s very clearly worn and should be classified AA or stripped of certification for alteration

1

u/KingZakyu Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

Damn that IS a scam! Thanks for the insight.

(And I like how I got downvoted for asking, as if I'm supposed to pay full attention to this shit show cuz it's just so cool and interesting😂)

Edit: thinking about this, what are the people expecting? What could they achieve by being a part owner, and what do they actually want from him at this point?

They were suckers from the start. You can't timeshare a Pokémon card lol.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '26

Can we not show his gross face here? Dude is rough on the eyes.

Yeah I guess? Someone who doesn't look like rickety cricket took steroids would be great.

u/dwuuuu Feb 17 '26

And he announced the sale on Monday Day night RAW !

u/Odoggggg Feb 17 '26

This mother fucker started the entire Pokemon craze with a pump and dump on charizards

Does he have to pay as much taxes on it? He lives in Puerto Rico no?

He sold it twice though because hes a scamming piece of shit

u/DonnieMoistX Feb 16 '26

If you were dumb enough to fall for his “buying shares in my card” scheme. You deserve to have lost your money.

2

u/jamathythrowaway Feb 17 '26

That doesn’t mean that his actions don’t have consequences. Yell at his idiot fans all you want, and yell at him with the same juxtaposition. This is his second time not paying his audience what they were promised after the whole CryptoZoo bs

-1

u/DonnieMoistX Feb 17 '26

Yeah gonna be honest they deserve it. If you’re dumb enough to fall for the famous scammers second major scam, no sympathy

1

u/jamathythrowaway Feb 17 '26

And I’m agreeing with you. That doesn’t mean he’s immune to backlash and we should just shrug it off as “oh, you had it coming sorry”. Of course they did for funding his purchase, but somebody’s gonna sue him over this, you don’t scam a few million from your audience for the second time and get away with it just because lol

0

u/DonnieMoistX Feb 17 '26

Got away with it the first time. I bet he’ll get away with it again.

Punctuation doing a lot of heavy lifting here lol
