Hopefully Al Richter will post some of his collection too.

As a frequent MRI flyer this past year, I can't help but wonder. Would one of those machines be able to slice through the layers of an unopened pack and expose what cards are hidden away inside???

I asked a friend that was an MRI tech that years ago and he just rolled his eyes and said definitely not.
The penny packs you can usually tell. There is one guy on here with a big collection of scans of uncut sheets that is almost batting 1.000 in predicting which cards are in a pack if one from the front or back can be identified

Darren, I hope what ever issues led you to a year of MRI’s have been successfully resolved.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope you are doing okay now.

MRI won't, but I think some of the xray backscatter scans can.

My boss in the 90's got a demo of one being sold for security, and he could read the cover of his magazine which was inside his briefcase.

This is why collecting anything unopened has never really appealed to me. If I were home alone with that pack for day, I'd have busted it too - although that was clearly not the best decision to make from a financial perspective.

Whoa, this is uncomfortable. I was only being a bit playful with regards to the MRIs. In the past year, I have had 4 different, unrelated surgeries. The first was a torn rotator cuff that started the MRI train rolling. Knock on wood, so far I'm doing well. Thanks, David and Anthony!!
