When it comes to Pokemon cards, you don't need to catch them all, you just need to catch one that's really valuable.

On Monday, influencer and wrestler Logan Paul parted with his Ultra Rare Pikachu Illustrator card for $16.5 million, making it the most expensive trading card ever sold at auction.

It's an impressive return for Paul, who bought the card for $5.3 million in 2021, and a sign that this collectibles boom is not slowing down.

So who bought the card?

One A.J.

Scaramucci, a venture capitalist and son of former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

The younger Mooch said this was just the start of a, quote, planetary treasure hunt.

He said, I'm planning to buy a T-Rex dinosaur fossil, the Declaration of Independence, and I'm not stopping there.

This is only the beginning.

All right, the Olympics is now in its second and final week.

So sad.

But there are plenty of intriguing storylines to be wrapped up before the flame moves on from Italy.

First is the absolute dominance of the U.S.

women's hockey team.

They have romped their way to the gold medal match versus Canada, having given up just one goal through six undefeated games.

They're simply on another level.

And speaking of greatness, Johannes Hasvat Klabo, the Norwegian cross-country skier, is drawing comparisons to Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps in terms of blowing away the competition.

He just became the Winter Olympian with the most gold medals ever with his ninth total, and he's still got two more events to go.

Need to find out this man's VO2 max.

Finally, there's been lots of curling drama with the Swiss men's team accusing Canada of cheating via a double touch.
