Pittsburgh Steelers superstar Cassius Marsh may be the next combatant to take on Logan Paul in the ring, and instead of millions of dollars on the line, it may be a legendary Charizard.
Marsh sat down this week with Tai Savet, who is the Agents of LA CEO & star of the hit VH1 reality TV series, "Love & Listings." Tai just launched a podcast, "ALL TAI'D UP," and had his good buddy Marsh stop by to talk about the explosive world of sports cards, box breaks, and trading card games.
29-year-old Cassius Marsh recently opened a high-end sports and TCG store, Cash Cards Unlimited, in Westlake Village, CA ... so he definitely had an opinion about YouTube star Logan Paul allegedly spending $1 million on a 1st edition Charizard Pokemon card.
"That's just not true," Marsh told Tai, explaining that the oversaturated market for Pokemon has actually created a downward trend. He did claim that having Paul attached to the card could make it more valuable to other collectors, but the card alone just ain't worth six-figures.

"You’re looking at the $1,000,000 trio... Huge congrats to @pokewizard96 for getting Charizard, Blastoise AND Venusaur in PERFECT PSA 10s from my box breaks. Legendary!!" Paul wrote on social media back in May.
"If Logan Paul said let’s do a fight right and whoever wins gets the Charizard..." Tai suggested out before Marsh, who is a formidable 6'4" and 270 lbs, immediately declared he would be the victor in that fight. "And you'll take his Charizard?" Tai followed up.
"Only if he puts it up," Marsh said smiling, following up that any potential fight would have to wait until after the NFL season. Full video below.
As for Marsh's own card shop, it's quickly built up a loyal fanbase and membership with celebs and high-end collectors regularly stopping by in search of hard-to-find cards and lucky box breaks.
