Pokémon Card Market Roiled by CT Scanner Reveal

Is Your Pokémon Guessing Skill the Next Hot Commodity?

IIC recently released a promotional YouTube video showcasing the scanner's capabilities. This sparked a discussion about the potential consequences for the Pokémon card market.

The market for rare Pokémon cards is booming, with some cards fetching hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. The intense demand, particularly for designer-signed cards, has led to unfortunate incidents, such as the reported stalking of a prominent illustrator by scalpers.

The investment potential of Pokémon cards has created a significant niche market, with many hoping to capitalize on appreciating card values.

While some see the pre-opening scan as a potential advantage, others express concern and even disgust. Comments on IIC's YouTube video reveal worries about market integrity and potential inflation. Skepticism and dissenting opinions are also present.

One humorous comment suggests that the ability to identify Pokémon from just a glimpse might become a highly valuable skill in this new landscape.
