DETECTING FAKE SEALED NINTENDO GAME CARTRIDGES

Our client acquired several sealed Pokemon Nintendo cartridges from a storage unit. These products can sell for more than $3,000 on eBay. Because of this, our client sought to ensure what he hoped to sell was authentic using our industrial x-ray & CT authentication services.

Unfortunately, we knew immediately that these were not genuine products. The x-rays showed what appeared to be stacks of cardstock and were missing typical characteristics like circuit boards and batteries.

RIPPING THE BOXES

To demonstrate the confidence we have in our ability to detect fraudulent products the client opened the sealed boxes at our facility. As expected, the actual contents were not electronic games but were filled with cards (Magic The Gathering.)
