Reviewing Pokemon ETB Cases

Reviewing Opened Pokemon Booster Cases

Our client purchased a booster box case. Upon receipt he noticed the tape was cut. Upon reaching out to the seller they were told it was opened to retrieve packing & shipping information. Unsatisfied with this answer, our client sent the case for us to inspect.

While all boxes appear to have the correct contents, one box is not configured the same. Box 3 has the dice and counters on one end while the other three boxes have these materials in between the two groups of cards. Additionally, we are unable to identify any of the cards in the suspect box.

Authenticating Fusion Strike Pokemon "God" Boxes using CT Scanning

Typically a Fusion Strike Pokemon booster box has 12-14 hits. However, some boxes were produced in error and could contain an additional 9-12 hits. Using industrial CT scanning technology we are able to authenticate these boxes, count the number of hits, and ensure that the cards match the set.

Authenticating Evolving Skies Booster Box Cases

CT Scanning Evolving Skies Booster Boxes & Cases

For months our team tried to perfect Pokemon Evolving Skies six box cases to no avail. However, recently, we had a breakthrough and are now able to complete individual booster boxes and entire cases.

Below shows what Umbreon looks like within a booster case scan. We can differentiate between Umbreon and Moonbreon by comparing the ears and the slanted, central eye.

These products are often tampered with, and so interested parties have turned to us for authentication services.

FAKE, REPACKED, OR SUSPECT BOXES

This case had the incorrect quantity of packs within several of the six booster boxes.

CT Scanning Modern Prismatic Evolutions ETBs

Every day we are asked if we can scan modern collector cards. The answer is yes, though there are rarely products worth the cost of shipping and evaluation. Due to the hype behind the new Prismatic Evolutions ETB, we wanted to demonstrate what this data looks like.
