PSA BGS CGC Booster Box Grading/Authentication Coming Soon?

I noticed on the last Goldin 2025 February Pop Culture Elite Auction had some vintage booster boxes, a few of which seemed to go for a premium- specifically the 1st edition team rocket booster box. I also noted that this particular box was “verified” by industrial inspection and consultation LLC, I’m assuming via CT scanning.

“This booster box comes with a LOA from Industrial Inspection & Consulting LLC. IIC reviewed this specimen for Goldin to verify authenticity and confirm it has not been tampered with. Goldin has no knowledge of the contents or potential card identities.”

Do you think grading companies will soon adopt this service and start grading/authenticating booster boxes? And do you think this would inherently increase the value of these boxes in a major way?

If they prove what packs were inside I could see there being a market for this kind of thing grading wise. Everyone loves authenticity especially for hard to come by things. With all of the reseals for certain items these days it always nice to know what has been deemed genuine. I do know this service is quite costly, so a premium makes sense for things like this.
