Ahead of taking on Rey and Dominik Mysterio, it's no secret that Logan Paul made his way to the ring with a Pokémon card around his neck. After all, Jimmy Smith outright told us that not just was Paul rocking a Pokémon card as an accessory, but that said card was highly valuable.

In terms of what WWE didn't tell you here, that's exactly how valuable this card is.

Per The Guinness World Records, the card brought to the ring by Logan Paul is valued at $5.275 million (£3.862 million).

The 27-year-old social media superstar acquired this PSA Grade 10 Pikachu Illustrator card in Dubai last July. To purchase this, Paul paid $4 million and exchanged a PSA Grade 9 Pikachu Illustrator card worth $1.275 million. This deal was done with famed sports card collector Matt Allen.

What make the Pikachu Illustrator card so rare, is that it was only given out to 39 illustration contest winners back in 1998. The one Paul now owns is the only one of the bunch that is still graded a 10 - meaning it is the only flawless card in existence from this entire bunch.

So yeah, quite the pricey piece to wear ahead of making your professional wrestling debut.
