Pokémon Fans Discover “Industrial CT Scanning Unopened Pokemon Cards” Promo Video

Your Pokémon Guessing Skills Will Now Be “Highly Sought After”

Following reports of a company offering to reveal the contents of unopened Pokémon trading card packs, fans have flocked to social media to share their thoughts on this "revolutionary" service aimed at trading card enthusiasts. For about $70, Industrial Inspection and Consulting (IIC) claims it can identify which Pokémon are inside certain card packs without opening them.

Last month, IIC released a YouTube promo video demonstrating a CT scanner capable of revealing the contents of unopened Pokémon packs and, consequently, the identity of the Pokémon on the card. This revelation has ignited a flurry of conversations among Pokémon fans and trading card enthusiasts about the potential effects on the Pokémon card market.

The market values of rare Pokémon cards have soared, with some fetching hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Fans often go to great lengths to acquire the rarest cards, and designer-signed Pokémon trading cards are especially sought after. Earlier this year, a prominent Pokémon card illustrator reported being constantly stalked and harassed by card scalpers due to the high demand for these trading cards.

Investing in Pokémon cards has evolved into a significant niche business, with many collectors hoping to discover valuable cards that will appreciate over time.

Some Pokémon fans and traders see potential benefits in scanning Pokémon card packs before opening them. However, reactions on the company's YouTube video page have been mixed. Some commenters feel "threatened" or "disgusted" by this service, worrying that it could undermine the integrity of the trading market or even inflate it. Others remain skeptical and disagree with the concept.

Amidst the debate, one fan humorously remarked that, finally, their "skills at guessing who's that Pokémon are going to be highly sought after!"
