Because the BBCE has been around for over 30 years and there is no way they would willingly destroy the reputation of their very profitable business just so Logan Paul can make a video. People have been tracking these Pokémon cards and talking about BBCE’s bad analysis of them for longer than Logan Paul has even known about them. If there is any sort of grift going on here it’s that Logan might have already been aware that they were probably fake before buying them, but that doesn’t make the situation itself and its fallout on BBCE’s reputation any less real.i definitely think it's staged, and i don't get why people think it's not. he's just doing standard YouTuber bullshit and with insane clickbait titles and outrageous premises.
while i do think Logan's a douchebag, he does seem to be more intelligent and self-aware than many people realize. he is by no means smart, but if you look at his attitude pre-suicide forest drama compared to now, there's a striking difference. if i recall correctly when it was mentioned on a podcast a while ago, he looked genuinely uncomfortable and ashamed while discussing it. he's definitely got more going on upstairs than his brother.
he's just playing the clickbait YouTuber game. which is still fucking retarded, but this is getting attention and clicks. hell, i bet he knows people will spread it because "haha karma!!!!1!". he's undoubtedly a fag but he sure as hell knows how to get views.
I wish I could join in with the whole "lol get fucked" train but $3.5 million is probably what Logan makes in a month at worst.
Realistically, probably almost all of them. They live a lifestyle which requires constant income, and most of them aren't particularly smart with their money or actively invest it. Plus the lifespan of an "influencer" is way less than a decade most of the time. There's always a newer, younger one right around the corner. Just look at how many pro athletes go broke shortly after retirement.I wonder how many of these big influencers are gonna be broke within this decade. He’s loaded as hell, but money has a nasty tendency to vanish when you’re a peabrain.
Statistically, 70 percent of lottery winners end up broke within seven years.I wonder how many of these big influencers are gonna be broke within this decade. He’s loaded as hell, but money has a nasty tendency to vanish when you’re a peabrain.
I bet he made his money back from ad revenue and merch sales already.Logan got scammed out of $3.5 million on some rare Pokémon cards:
The box was gutted and refilled with GI Joe cards. A company that specializes in reviewing vintage trading cards, the Baseball Card Exchange (BBCE), was initially brought in some time ago to verify if the boxes seemed legit, which they believed to be the case at the time. Though after further speculation, they opened the box to reveal the contents being a total sham.
Unsurprisingly, the BBCE's reputation took a massive hit from this massive blunder. It's a really bad look to say the least, considering their business was all about verifying expensive cards for collectors to purchase.
They tried to address the fallout on Twitter, though it hasn't gone over very well, considering various Pokémon nerds debunked the box's authenticity from their own rooms while an "expert" miserably failed to verify it in-person:

Assuming this was the same guy, Logan's "card dealer" has been called out in the past for being super sketchy with some of the deals he's made in the past. This was not the first time this guy has sold a tampered box to some interested collectors.
I recommend reading through this short thread from last year for some additional context:
I’d like to think he weighed the cost of the cards versus how much revenue the unwrapping videos would make but who knows, he’ll get a lot of free publicity from this (Currently top trending video on YouTube) so even if he doesn’t get any money back he’ll still get something out of it.I wonder how many of these big influencers are gonna be broke within this decade.

both of them(and lots of other influencers with children fan bases) have been pushing various scams for years, they get a huge payout to promote whatever scam du jour, it goes bust, repeat. when your audience is children and retards you can do this a lot apparently. it wasn't until just recently they started to add the #ad hashtag to their pump and dump advertisements, but even when marked #ad impressionable children and retards no doubt still fall for said scams.I just see this as hilarious. Didn't his shitheel brother scam their retard fans into going to those 'gambling sites' by pretending they won huge prizes? Some of the 'prizes' were sports cars and a goddamn house.
