Imagine renting a machine X-ray to find out what cards are inside an envelope Pokémon and which one to buy. Well, this is precisely what some fans are doing, who have chosen to rent this device, capable of seeing the inside of said envelopes, at a modest price, which creates a higher chance of getting a rare cardalthough in the long run its value may decrease.
This is made known through a video on the channel okJLUVwhich looks at how some hobbyists are using the company’s X-ray machine Industrial Inspection & Consultingwhich Rent your machinery at a price of 75 dollars per package. This may be the “perfect” opportunity to get an envelope containing a letter Pokémon valued at more than $2,000.
As for the machine itself, it is one used for industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning, in order to analyze and test products. This is something that the company Industrial Inspection & Consulting has been carrying out for several years, but until now had not rented this technology for common use by hobbyists. Although the price is somewhat “high”, it is planned that in the future it will be more accessible to everyone. However, this can only mean “problem” for the card market Pokémon.
And, for those who do not know, this market is mainly based on the popularity of those who obtain a rare card, which amounts to an exorbitant value in the market and is considered by many. However, as it is acquired by more people with the use of these x-rays, this can cause it to lose value in the market, because more people would get said card.
This is something that has been seen in all types of markets under the “demand and supply” model, where, when a product becomes more accessible, it loses its value, while limited products see their price rise to almost double. its original cost. However, It’s too early to think that the rare cards of Pokémon they will reduce their priceso it remains to be seen how accessible said X-ray machine becomes to the public.
As for Pokémon cards, a video game for iOS and Android will arrive on October 30, and it is about Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocketwhich promises to bring the experience of opening Pokémon envelopes and collecting them on cell phones.
