Pikachu Illustrator.
An extraordinary Pokémon sale.
Logan Paul’s Pikachu Illustrator sold through Goldin in February 2026 for $16,492,000, as reported by Guinness World Records.
- Reported auction sale
- $16,492,000
- Illustrative Cardway fee · 4%
- $659,680
- Seller keeps, before other costs
- $15,832,320
Auction total includes buyer’s premium and a diamond necklace with hand delivery. Illustration treats the full total as a hypothetical agreed Cardway sale price, not the card’s standalone value. This was not a Cardway transaction or listing. Shipping and processing excluded.

Card-for-card or many-for-one. Both sides list their cards and agree on declared values. The fee is based on those values, and both packages come to us before anything is forwarded.
