Anthony Scaramucci's son buys Logan Paul's previously tokenized Pokémon card for record $16 million!!!!!
A.J. Scaramucci, the son of SkyBridge Capital founder and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, paid $16.49 million for Logan Paul's PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card, setting a new record for a trading card sale.
Paul, a YouTube star and WWE performer, originally bought the ultra-rare 1998 Pokémon card for $5.3 million in 2021, representing a more than threefold increase in value over five years.
Paul previously attempted to tokenize the card via his Liquid Marketplace platform, selling about 5.4% fractional ownership for roughly $270,000 in 2022.
Liquid Marketplace faced securities charges from the Ontario Securities Commission in 2024, including allegations of misleading investors and improper use of funds.
Paul repurchased the fractionalized shares under platform terms, restoring full ownership before completing the record-breaking transaction.
The sale comes as tokenized and rare collectibles continue gaining traction, with NFT-linked trading card platforms like Collector Crypt recently reporting surging trading volumes.
Lawsuit incoming???
