Pokémon Card Pack Contents Revealed via CT Scan: Fan Reactions Explode

Your Pokémon Guessing Game Just Got a Whole Lot More Valuable

Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC) is offering a service to identify the Pokémon cards within sealed packs using industrial CT scanning technology. For around $70, they claim to unveil the contents without opening the packs. This has led to a flurry of online discussions among Pokémon enthusiasts.

IIC's YouTube promotional video demonstrating this technology has sparked controversy. The high value of rare Pokémon cards, some fetching hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, is a key factor. The intense demand, as evidenced by the reported harassment of a Pokémon card illustrator by scalpers, highlights the stakes involved.

While some collectors see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, others express concern and even disgust. The fear is that this service could compromise the market's integrity, potentially leading to inflation or other unforeseen consequences. Skepticism remains, with opinions sharply divided.

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