A recent promotional video showcasing a CT scanner that can identify the contents of unopened Pokémon card packs has ignited a lively debate among collectors. Let's delve into the fan reactions and potential market implications.
Pokémon Card Pack Contents Revealed: A CT Scanner's Impact
Your Pokémon Guessing Game Just Got a Whole Lot More Important
Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC) has introduced a service that uses a CT scanner to reveal the Pokémon cards within sealed packs for around $70. This has sparked considerable discussion within the Pokémon trading card community.
IIC's YouTube video demonstrating this technology has divided opinion. The service's ability to identify cards before opening them raises concerns about the integrity and potential inflation of the Pokémon card market.
The market for rare Pokémon cards is notoriously volatile, with some cards fetching exorbitant prices. The high demand, particularly for cards with designer signatures, has even led to instances of harassment of illustrators by scalpers.
The investment potential of Pokémon cards has created a significant niche market, with many seeking cards expected to appreciate in value.
While some see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, others express concerns that it could negatively impact the market's inherent excitement and unpredictability. Comments on IIC's video range from apprehension and disgust to skepticism and outright disagreement.
One humorous comment highlights the potential shift in value of a skill previously considered less important: "Finally, my 'Who's That Pokémon?' skills are going to be highly sought after!"
