Logan Paul’s attempt to profit from rare early Pokémon sticker cards appears to have suffered a further setback during a lengthy livestream. He peeled cards from a CoroCoro magazine sheet hoping for top PSA 10 grades, but visible centring problems and damage suggested they would fall short, undermining the value of his multimillion-dollar purchase and drawing renewed criticism from Pokémon fans.

Paul had paid about $400,000 for one Jigglypuff card, which he said might still fetch roughly $150,000 as a PSA 9, despite being stuck to the sheet and off-centre. A Pikachu card also showed imperfect centring and a nick, although Paul still claimed it could be a PSA 10; the article notes that the CoroCoro cards were not actually the first Pokémon cards printed, as earlier Bandai cards hold that distinction.
