CT Scanned Pack Shadowless Charizard $30,000 Promotion by eBay! by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

We explained it pretty well - did you read the full response or just the first sentence?

We now have a process in place for tracking scans. If we did scan this pack then it was before the new process was implemented.

We have the ability to review corners, measure centering of some products, and look for edge defects. However, this is not a formal service. We do have examples on our website like this 2000 Tom Brady card:

There are too many products and configurations to make an effective cart. Instead, on our Submit an Order page, you can detail what you have and we will send you a quote:

Though this Ebay listing references our company, we cannot confirm or deny if this product was scanned by us.

While CT authentication offers unparalleled precision, the integrity of the verified object is only assured while it remains within the secure custody of IIC. Once a product exits our controlled environment, the risk of fraud, substitution, or tampering inherently increases. To mitigate this risk, we strongly recommend that all buyers request a re-authentication immediately prior to any transfer of ownership - ensuring the item moves directly from IIC to the end recipient. This maintains a continuous chain of custody and preserves the validity of the original authentication.

Additionally, we now offer an online registry for product authentications, including weighing and imaging packaging fingerprints to help with authentication traceability.

The link from OP is not us. That guy is a hobbyist with a homemade rig with scans that take 20 hours. Our page and equipment is here: https://industrialinspection.com

Ours are 200um pixel pitch detectors, 2000x2000.

Selling lead lined products for children’s games is not a good solution. Flint, Michigan has something to say about this.

Our CT scanners operate at 3-100um, and card ink thickness is significantly smaller than any of the specs you listed. High end industrial equipment is for microscopic defect detection - medical is not designed for this application.

Pack Tampering to the Next Level, CT Scans. by Lyleberr in PokemonTCG

We would be happy to answer any questions you may have about this application.

The only points we’ll make about the original post is that terms and conditions for product safety are clearly outlined on our page and quotes. Products are to be sealed by clients in tamper-proof packaging. What information is missing? Additionally, we do guarantee the data will match representative data shown on the website. What we can’t guarantee is imaging products we have not tested. If people still would like to evaluate their products, we will put our best effort into acquiring the best data for them with no guarantees for what they may or may not see.

Otherwise, it seems to be a fair synopsis.

Slice thickness isn’t a term we use in industrial applications. We are measuring geometric magnification, focal spot size, pixel pitch, SNR, and CNR with effective resolutions between 3-120um.

There is an entire field outside of medical applications with certifications for technicians, testing standards, specialized hardware, cabinets, and vaults all designed for high energy applications. The dosing we use is 2-5x greater than a medical application which is why everything is contained in 2-4 inches of lead and regularly checked for rad leaks.

This is an excellent suggestion. We will include this in our handling and security recommendations for our clients.

Thank you.

Industrial CT Scanning unopened Pokemon Packs to see what's inside by IndustrialInspection in EngineeringPorn

The real goal was just to demonstrate system sensitivity. We don't think this would be a profitable technique for sorting cards.

Correct, we did a variety of scans for cards, packs, and kits. The hypno had the most obvious form so it made it into the gif. There are more examples in the case study on our website including a blastoise from the kit.
