Diamond-Encrusted Gold Chain and Pendant Holder Included; Paul Encourages Young Investors to Seek Alternate Investments
Logan Paul will put his PSA GEM Mint 10 1998 P.M. Pokemon TCG Illustrator Japanese Holo Promo card up for auction at Goldin Auctions.
The Most Expensive Pokemon TCG Card Sold in a Private Sale (according to Guinness World Records) is headed to auction next year. Paul purchased this card in Dubai in 2022 (see “‘Pokemon TCG’ Illustrator Promo Card“), and then proceeded to have it mounted in a diamond-adorned custom necklace, which he wore around his neck at WrestleMania 38 as well as for TV interviews and other public events. Recently, the necklace was lent to Ken Goldin to wear at the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua: Judgement Day fight.
The multi-million dollar card and necklace together create the ultimate piece of Pokemon bling. This necklace, which is so blindingly opulent that it could perhaps be seen from space, was created by Suny the Jeweler of Oxford Diamonds in Atlanta. The pendant holder features about 10,000 stones (35 carats of VVS1 clarity natural diamonds) that are handset. This holder is connected to a solid 10-karat gold Cuban chain, weighing 172.5 grams and encrusted with 27.5 carats worth of baguette diamonds, by a Pokeball bail that is also blinged out with 6.5 carats worth of diamonds. Paul paid $75,000 for the chain when the price of gold was under $2000 an ounce; gold is now approaching $4500 an ounce.
Paul took to The Big Money Show on Fox Business to promote the upcoming auction and his appearance on Netflix’s King of Collectibles. He had suggestions for what young investors could to put their money towards, instead of real estate or stocks:
“If you are young, there are ways to spend and invest your money that might mean more to you than the traditional conservative investment, like the stock market,” said Paul in the Fox Business interview. “Whether it’s a trading card, a piece of art, a piece of a dinosaur, sports memorabilia, game-worn anything…I like to invest in the best-of-the-best, the top of the asset class.”
Paul’s statements on Fox Business are in line with what Ken Goldin said days earlier on CNBC about collectibles becoming an alternative asset class for a new generation of investors (see “‘Accepted Alternative Asset’“). Pre-bidding for this item will begin on January 12, 2026 on Goldin’s online platform.
