“I am considering selling my one of one PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator, the best Pokemon card in the world. I bought it for $5,275,000. I set the Guinness World Record for the most expensive Pokemon card in history. I walked out with it on my Wrestlemania debut and I’m thinking about letting it go to the right person,” he said.
“If that buyer is watching, reach out to me. Pokemon is the highest-grossing franchise in the world and just like me, there’s someone out there with a lot of money and wants to be the best. Who wants to be the very best, like no one ever was.”
