A recent promo 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 potential market implications.
IIC's YouTube video demonstrating the scanner's capabilities has divided the Pokémon trading card community. The high value of rare Pokémon cards, some fetching millions, fuels the controversy. The intense demand, even leading to harassment of illustrators by scalpers, highlights the stakes involved.
The Pokémon card market is a significant investment niche, with many seeking cards that will appreciate in value. While some see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, others express concern that it could destabilize the market, either by undermining its integrity or artificially inflating prices. Skepticism remains, however, with many questioning the service's practicality and long-term impact.
One humorous reaction highlights the potential shift: "Finally, my 'Who's That Pokémon?' skills are going to be highly sought after!" The future of Pokémon card collecting, it seems, may be a bit more… predictable.
