Pokémon Fans React to CT Scanner Revealing Unopened Packs
Your Pokémon Guessing Skills Might Be in High Demand
A company, Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC), is offering a service to identify the Pokémon cards within unopened packs using a CT scanner for approximately $70. This has sparked lively debate among Pokémon fans and collectors. IIC recently showcased this technology in a YouTube video, demonstrating its ability to reveal the cards without opening the packs.The Pokémon card market is booming, with rare cards fetching astronomical prices—sometimes reaching hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. The demand for rare cards, especially those signed by prominent illustrators, has led to extreme situations, including reported stalking and harassment of illustrators by scalpers.
Investing in Pokémon cards has become a significant market, with many hoping for valuable cards that appreciate over time.
Reactions to IIC's service are mixed. Some see potential advantages in pre-opening scans, while others express concern that it could negatively impact the market's integrity or even lead to further inflation. Skepticism remains among some fans. One humorous comment highlights the potential increased value of Pokémon identification skills: "Finally, my 'Who's That Pokémon?' skills are going to be highly sought after!"
