This week: We uncover the story about how Gary Haase, a 69-year-old father of three from Las Vegas, was crowned King Pokémon. His collection of Pokémon cards is worth more than $10 million, and he even sold one of his rare cards to Youtuber Logan Paul for $150,000 in 2020. We speak to Gary about his collection and how the Pokémon card craze has evolved from childhood collectibles in the 1990s to a multimillion-dollar market today.
