A recent promotional video showcasing a CT scanner that can identify the contents of unopened Pokémon card packs has ignited a firestorm of debate among collectors. Let's delve into the fan reactions and the potential impact on the Pokémon card market.
IIC's YouTube video demonstration of the CT scanner's ability to identify cards without opening the packs has created a stir among Pokémon fans and trading card enthusiasts. The potential implications for the market are significant.
The value of rare Pokémon cards has exploded, with some commanding prices in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars. The hunt for these rare cards, especially those with designer signatures, is fierce, leading to documented cases of harassment of illustrators by scalpers.
The Pokémon card market has become a substantial niche investment, with many hoping to capitalize on the appreciation of valuable cards over time.
Reactions to IIC's service are mixed. Some see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, allowing for strategic purchasing. However, others express concern, viewing the service as a threat to the market's integrity, potentially leading to inflation or manipulation. Skepticism also abounds.
One humorous comment highlights the unexpected consequence: the skill of identifying Pokémon from partial glimpses might become a highly sought-after talent!
