A recent promo video showcasing a CT scanner that reveals the contents of unopened Pokémon card packs has ignited a firestorm of debate among collectors. Let's delve into the fan reactions and potential market implications.
Pokémon Card Pack Scanning: A CT Scanner's Unexpected Application
The End of Pokémon Card Guessing?
Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC) is offering a service to identify Pokémon cards within unopened packs using a CT scanner for approximately $70. This "crazy" service, as some fans have called it, has sparked intense discussion on social media.
IIC's YouTube video demonstrating this technology has divided the Pokémon card community. The ability to peek inside packs before opening them raises significant concerns about the market's future.
The high-value rare Pokémon card market is already a volatile landscape, with some cards fetching astronomical prices. The intense demand, especially for designer-signed cards, has even led to harassment of illustrators by scalpers.
The Pokémon card market is a significant investment niche, with many hoping for long-term appreciation. While some see the scanning service as a potential advantage, others express concerns about market integrity and potential inflation. Negative reactions range from feeling "threatened" to "disgusted."
However, amidst the controversy, one fan lightheartedly suggested that their Pokémon identification skills will now become a highly valuable asset!
