Adin Ross shocked fans—and seemingly, himself—when he pulled a $100K first edition Charizard with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak as his witnesses.

In a clip going viral, Adin Ross can be seen opening Pokémon booster boxes when, at one point, he pulled a $100K CHARIZARD and a $100K BLASTOISE in the same pack. Upon drawing the card, all three men can be seen jumping with glee as they carefully examine the coveted card.

Fans have since begun reacting to the video with excitement, though a few had choice words to say. Here's what one naysayer penned, for instance:

"Base set unlimited Zard is $100k now? Lmao, I hate influencers."

The comments didn't end there:

"they cooked the value," someone pointed out.
"Why do I feel like that is Logan Paul's Charizard put back into a resealed pack? Notice Adin's face when he didn't look at the face of the card. How did he know it was a good pull with only looking at the back? Sh*t was staged," another speculated.
"Isn't it a bit strange that a bunch of well-known streamers are pulling crazy rare, expensive cards, and nobody is noticing how suspicious that is. Staged af," yet another echoed.
"WHY DOESNT THIS SH*T EVER HAPPEN TO A POOR 10 YEAR OLD KID WHO GOT A PACK FOR HIS BIRTHDAY ??" an enraged user chimed in.

Users were visibly in disbelief over the video's authenticity, with droves flocking to X to rubbish the video as staged. Here's how the rest of X is reacting:

"Adin the type of guy to pay someone to pre open packs for him to make sure he pulls this just for the stream," one user claimed.
"I have a feeling their just packaging these cards and reopening them on every stream for views cus 10years ago people in these Pokémon’s community would be saying stuff like “there’s only 5 of these in the world”," someone else chimed in.
"Not a 1st edition yall and they know nothing about Pokémon cards," a user penned, referring to its value.
"I'm under the impression that if your first reaction is asking the worth of the card then you don't care about pokemon cards," yet another user chimed in.

Scores online also pointed out that the card is not a first edition, which should place its value far lower than what was being projected in the clip. A few also took issue with the fact that Adin Ross asked how much it was worth upon drawing it, noting that a true fan would have already known the answer.


Adin Ross makes a triumphant return to Kick after two years—but not without a catch: Read more

Notably, nearly two years after he got banned on the very platform he made a name for himself on, Adin Ross finally got his penalty lifted. However, the controversial streamer, who once boasted over 7 million followers in 2023, is now being forced to start from scratch. Just last month, he had about 56,000 followers.

Back in 2023, Adin Ross was banned for failing to control unmoderated comments in his chat. Just before that, he shifted to Kick and became one of the most prolific figures on the platform.

However, by the end of the following year, he announced he would be leaving Kick and focusing his efforts on trying to get his Twitch ban undone so he could return to streaming.
