Pokémon Card Market Roiled by CT Scanner Reveal

Is Your Pokémon Guessing Ability About to Become a Hot Commodity?

Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC) is offering a service to identify the Pokémon cards within unopened packs using advanced CT scanning technology for around $70. This controversial service, demonstrated in a recent YouTube video, has sparked heated discussions within the Pokémon trading card community.

The astronomical value of rare Pokémon cards, some fetching hundreds of thousands or even millions, has fueled an intense market. The pursuit of these rare cards, especially those with designer signatures, has even led to harassment of illustrators by scalpers.

The Pokémon card market has become a significant investment niche, with many seeking valuable cards for long-term appreciation.

While some see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, others express outrage and concern on IIC's YouTube channel. They fear this technology could compromise the market's integrity and potentially lead to price inflation. Skepticism and dissenting opinions are also prevalent.

One amusing comment highlights the potential shift: "Finally, my 'Who's That Pokémon?' skills are going to be highly sought after!"
