A recent promotional video showcasing a CT scanner that reveals the contents of unopened Pokémon card packs has ignited a lively debate among collectors. Let's delve into the fan reactions and potential market impacts.
Pokémon Card Pack Scanning: A CT Scanner's Unexpected Application
The End of the Guessing Game?
Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC) has introduced a service that uses a CT scanner to identify the Pokémon cards within unopened packs for approximately $70. This has sparked considerable online discussion within the Pokémon trading card community.IIC's YouTube video demonstrating this technology has fueled the conversation about the potential effects on the Pokémon card market. The high value of rare Pokémon cards, some fetching hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, has created a highly competitive market. The demand for rare cards, especially those with designer signatures, has even led to reported cases of harassment of illustrators by scalpers.
The Pokémon card market has become a significant investment niche, with many seeking cards expected to appreciate in value.
Reactions to IIC's service are mixed. Some collectors see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, while others express concern that it could compromise the market's integrity and potentially lead to further price inflation. Skepticism also remains prevalent. One humorous comment highlights the potential increased value of Pokémon identification skills.
