The ballyhooed Jake Paul/Mike Tyson fight is set for this Friday and we have no idea how to approach this from just a normal person “who is going to win?” point of view. On one hand, we still have the stench of the Logan Paul/Floyd Mayweather POV “exhibition” all over our empty wallets— Mayweather admitted later that he was very obviously not taking it seriously and was just working out “from time to time” leading up to the match. On the other hand, Mike Tyson, even at 58, is still Mike Tyson. 

This leads us to the Jake Paul card market. Leaf has pretty much all of it, even having made a Paul/Tyson dual auto that’s selling for $200+ on eBay. But the Pop Century and online exclusive Pauls can be had cheaper. The question is: what will it take for his market to go up in value? There are too many possible outcomes here but Paul is a massive betting favorite, so let’s assume he wins. His cards should go up, if Tyson is at least a shadow of the legend we all know and love; ie – if he takes this seriously and doesn’t pull a Mayweather. Paul is a showman, but he’s also a talented boxer who held his own against Tommy Fury — he’s not just fighting fellow YouTubers and influencers anymore. This is a talented, athletic, powerful 27 year-old with nearly unlimited resources. And Tyson is a 58 year-old — but he can still floor someone with one punch.

So this leads us to the conclusion that we will not be speculating on Jake Paul cards, unless we can maybe snag an autographed Leaf card for $30-ish. But that’s just a good price, regardless. And we did, while researching this story, buy an old-school Punch-Out homage custom card just to remember the event. We will be locked in for the fight, either way. Especially with Shadasia Green fighting on one of the undercards and a Katie Taylor/Amanda Serrano rematch on the bill, as well. And just to save you some time, there are zero cards (outside of a few customs) for any of the women fighters. Let’s get on this, Allen & Ginter!!
