Pokémon Card Pack Contents Revealed: A CT Scanner's Impact
Your Pokémon Guessing Game Just Got a Whole Lot More Valuable
Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC) has introduced a service that uses a CT scanner to identify the Pokémon cards within sealed packs for approximately $70. This "crazy" service, as some fans have called it, has sparked considerable online discussion about its implications for the Pokémon card market.IIC's YouTube video demonstration of the scanner's capabilities has fueled the debate. The ability to determine a pack's contents before opening it raises questions about fairness and market integrity.
The high value of rare Pokémon cards, some fetching hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, is well-known. The intense demand, especially for cards with designer signatures, has even led to reported harassment of illustrators by scalpers.
The Pokémon card market has become a significant investment niche, with many seeking cards expected to appreciate in value.
While some see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, others express concerns. Comments on IIC's YouTube video range from feelings of being "threatened" or "disgusted" by the service's potential to disrupt market integrity and potentially inflate prices, to outright skepticism.
One humorous comment highlights the potential shift: "Finally, my 'Who's That Pokémon?' skills are going to be highly sought after!"
