Internet personality and WWE star Logan Paul has added two significant graded magazine issues to his collection: the debut appearances of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball and Eiichiro Oda's One Piece in Weekly Shonen Jump. Paul revealed on social media that the Dragon Ball issue, featuring the manga's first chapter, received a PSA 9.2 grade, while the One Piece debut issue was graded PSA 9.0. He acquired the Dragon Ball issue for $550,000, though the price for the One Piece magazine has not been disclosed.
This acquisition follows Paul's high-profile dealings in the collectibles market. In February, he sold a rare Pikachu Illustrator card for $16.492 million. However, that sale was later surrounded by controversy regarding the card's grading and ownership history, with questions arising about whether Paul had obtained a PSA 9 card and subsequently had it regraded to a PSA 10.
Paul's business ventures have also drawn scrutiny. His former company, Liquid Marketplace, which allowed users to buy and sell shares of rare collectibles, is currently involved in legal proceedings with the Ontario Securities Commission. Regulators allege the platform distributed unregistered securities. While Paul is not currently named as a respondent, the case highlights past controversies surrounding his involvement with high-value collectibles.
