Logan Paul has a confession to make, and it's not about his boxing or wrestling career. The 31-year-old social media star, who is currently recovering from a significant arm injury, took to social media to admit something many fans already suspected: he's got a serious Pokémon addiction.
Paul, who has made a name for himself in the WWE and the boxing ring, shared a photo of his sprawling Pokémon card collection on Sunday, captioning it with a simple but telling confession: "I got a Pokémon problem." The collection, which has cost him millions over the years, is a testament to his deep passion for the franchise.
While Paul's recovery from his arm injury is going well, he's been spending his downtime diving into the world of Pokémon. In a recent post, he reflected on his health and his outlook for the year. "Yeah recovery is going well. Really thought this was gonna be my year in the WWE but God had different plans and that's ok. I have so much to be thankful for: a beautiful family, more time with my daughter, attention on the perfect launch for ripit," he shared.
He added with his characteristic humor, "But for now I told my wife I probably have another 2/3 days of (complaining) and moaning. I think that's fair. Then I'm gonna get back to kicking (butt) & manifesting my reality cuz this is all a simulation anyway. The silver lining will be glorious, I know it."
Fans were quick to react to Paul's Pokémon confession, with many poking fun at his extravagant collection. One fan joked, "Final stage of the Pokémon problem. What started as childhood collecting quietly became adult speculation." Another quipped, "Every pokemon lover wants to have this problem."
Some fans pointed out the absurdity of his collection, noting that even basic Energy cards have been graded in PSA 10 slabs. "Logan's PSA slabs of basic Energy/commons prove the Pokémon boom: even bulk now gets graded as long-term assets. Serious collector flex," one fan wrote. Another added, "Bro that's not a Pokémon problem… that's a 'graded Basic Energy in PSA 10' problem. The real flex is turning $0.10 cards into a retirement plan while the rest of us are out here pulling commons and crying. Next up: grading your grocery receipts?"
Despite the jokes, Paul's collection is a serious investment. He's previously spent millions on rare cards, including a Pikachu Illustrator card that he bought for over $5 million. For a man who can afford it, his Pokémon obsession is just another quirky chapter in his larger-than-life persona.
