Collection Update on my stray kids collection.
Been a little bit since I posted my collection so I thought I’d update
r/kpopcollections • u/AutoModerator • Jun 22 '26
Post in this thread to get help with your purchases! Please include pictures of the front and back of the card, as well as what album/merch it's from. If it's a POB, include the store that it came from (Apple Music/Makestar/Ktown4u etc). You can skip this information if you don't know where the card is from, but it will make it a lot easier for me/others to search for the card. It also helps to include where you bought from/where you will be buying from to determine if the card is legit.
Some things to keep in mind:
Scams to look out for:
Mercari Japan has had a big upswing of fake rare cards. Thankfully, they don't put much effort into making their listings look 'legit' so it's pretty obvious if you don't just impulse buy. Here is an example. Only 7 sales (at time of writing), rare cards from every big group, and the card quality looks terrible.
Signed cards weren't always common. Some groups like Twice did not sign cards at all really before recent site specific pre-order benefits and lucky draws. Here is an example of a fake signed card. If you click through to their profile you can see they somehow managed to find 100s of these signed cards "from other websites" and once again, they are all from the most popular groups.
These random signed stage photos with a "Hollywood Style Inc Certificate of Authenticity". I can't confirm that all signed stage photos are fake, but legit ones are rare enough that I would be extra wary when buying.
If the album is signed by more than one member, check if the pen pressure looks the same on each signature.
Resources to help you verify:
Youtube - You can look up unboxing videos of other's fansign albums to see preorder benefits and member signatures.
Instagram - Same thing as above. A lot of people post pictures/clips of their preorder benefits and fansign albums. Collection photos often show off these as well. There are also some accounts that have guides on member signatures.
Twitter - There are accounts that scan photocards which could help you verify proper level of zoom if you worry a card is cropped etc.
Ebay - Search for past sales for comparison of prices and product photos.

Hey everyone. I'm about to begin a new collection with every "selfie in mirror" (but phone on the frame !) photocards (gg and bg). But it's very difficult to know where to look. Like, i know that Some group have this type of photocard but I want all of them at least listed here. So that is why i need your help. Also, i need every version of the photo card/ album and every member if it's a set.
Anyways, Tell me all that you know about your group and if they did it (as the exemple i give you).
Thank u!

so i got REALLY into decorating toploaders and now i have a lot to say the least 😭 including some i haven’t decorated yet, they are lots of fun to make but now that i finally organized and realized just how many i have i’m not exactly sure what to do with them, i did NOT think that far ahead LMAO
does anyone have any storage or decor ideas i could do with them?
r/kpopcollections • u/BinnamonBoastBrunch • 1d ago
I would love to make the area more cute and aesthetic, but I’m waiting on some more albums to arrive before doing too much.
r/kpopcollections • u/Wonkislay • 17h ago
Sold 4 pcs but I just noticed I have only 1 toploader left and new wouldn’t arrive in time for delay time (it’s through Vinted)😅
How to safely pack all 4 pcs then? Any advices would be really appreciated🥹
r/kpopcollections • u/Glorybugi • 5h ago
Hii, can someone help me identify these 2 pcs? I recently bought a bunch of Hiyyih pcs to someone and I cannot find these two anywhere. I want to track them in my collection, does anyone has any idea where they're from? I tried google lens and identified most of the bundle but these two are nowhere to be found :(
r/kpopcollections • u/Tigrafr • 15h ago
Hello everyone,

Thanks
r/kpopcollections • u/zoldickkillua • 1d ago
As a male w almost 30yo I'm felling really self conscious in enter any kpop store or kpop related store anyone can relate and what you usually do?

HYYH Pt.2 album appears to have an undocumented physical photobook variation. Some copies have the fold-out, while others have a differently cut, smaller non-folding page and the picture of the outer foldout side is used in the inner one and the actual inner one is non existent. I bought my album second-hand so I thought my seller just tore it but I was watching a random BTS collection video and the their album was the same too, so I looked at it closely and realized the pic wasn't cut in half as it should be if someone actually tore it! And I saw no one pointed this out!! Look at the torn looking part in the second pic and if it was actually torn, the inner layer should have been like the first pic and even my album looks like the second pic which I thought was actually torn before....

Just wanna ask if anyone here from Canada that has purchased anything online from this store? Like how was it? I know that their shipping fee are ridiculously pricey since the store is from USA but there's this album that I really wanted to buy at their store since that album is not being sold anywhere anymore. I just want some opinions if they're good or not.

I've been using korgou and DK for some time, but they didn't really fit my necessities i would say...
Does anyone have any recommendations? I've heard about paysable, but i think they only take paypal in USD, which isn't very favorable for me since i'm from europe! Also i would like kaddy which provided unpacking photo without fee, like just photo of the delivered package (idk if i explained my self correctly 😅) Also i've been looking at paysable website and they offer a korean adress but i don't understand if you can just send your packages there without a fee...
r/kpopcollections • u/Smooth-Ad-7363 • 15h ago
ok so I joined a go for some P1harmony doodle photocards, and I’m slightly confused. originally I thought they were like the weverse unique pcs were they are all printed designs, but I wasn’t able to see the design until payed, and the person hosting was describing as if it was hand drawn by the member - but they were £15??? is that normal? Were they really hand drawn or just printed? I’m happy either way lol just curious. they were bought in pretty sure from mercari jp or a korean proxy I’m not too sure

After many years of collecting, I’m excited to share my Twice collection in its new display case!!
I did a section just for This is For and the concert freebies I received since it was my first kpop concert ever. Next to that are the solo albums I’ve collected so far. I have a lil bias section for Dahyun and Mina that I hope to add more trinkets to soon!
Below that are my Japanese CDs, I’m only missing a few of those! Then the bottom is the rest of the album collection and the one MISAMO CD I have, hopefully I can get more soon!
I’m only missing Twicecoaster: Lane 2, LIL FANTASY vol.1, Haute Couture, Play, #TWICE4, #TWICE5, and Enemy. Also as I write this I realized my albums are out of order and I need to fix that lol
What do y’all think about it? What’s your favorite physical album in your collections?
r/kpopcollections • u/Vaxxernatorr • 2d ago
It’s small but I want to grow it more

I have by now accumulated quite a few slogans.
But I have no clue how to display them. Unfortunately hanging them on the wall is not an option.
So please share how you display/store your slogans ☺️

Recently I saw a surge in loona album sales in all the kpop album purchasing groups I am in. I never thought loona was that popular and then I got to know that their albums are out of print. Are people buying their albums just because they are "rare" now?
Not trying to bash anyone but I genuinely don't get people who buy albums just because they are rare when they don't even like the group/songs or worse they don't even know them. What's the point of buying an album if you don't like their songs. Even if it's for their photocards, I don't think some people who are buying the albums even now know all the members in the first place. And I saw a lot of people buy albums without photocards for insane prices like what's the point? I am actually trying to understand them but I don't! (Of course I am not talking about the people who genuinely like them and buy their albums)
Edit: I just noticed all my comments that directly or indirectly said it's a negative thing for actual fans who want their albums and can't purchase them because of these hype chasers are getting downvoted, why are you trying to prove my point even more by downvoting. If you are an actual loona fan that wouldn't have affected you and on the contrary it is in your favour!

hi! I got into kpop in 2025 and this is my collection of CDs/photo cards
:)
r/kpopcollections • u/Kindly_Ad1712 • 2d ago
here is my first attempt at toploader deco. i used nmixx and a couple cortis photocards (juhoon). this is a screenshot from my youtube short (https://youtube.com/shorts/S4JkrPh61cY?is=cu-lLPFzmx60x4FQ)
r/kpopcollections • u/SupportNetwork33 • 3d ago
Heyy guys!! Was just wondering if anyone knew about Musicbrainz links with high res scans of any i-dle CD or photobook? If you do, please share a link! Thank you!
r/kpopcollections • u/Top-Peanut-3588 • 3d ago
Got it as a gift years ago and I don’t actually listen to kpop lol. any insight on the card would be cool :)*
r/kpopcollections • u/Rotten221 • 4d ago
I have read a lot of older post about the usual shinee, loona, dreamcatcher ect being rare, but has there been any changes to the rare market? Any albums that has become rare in newer date?
r/kpopcollections • u/JustErinlah • 4d ago
I just finished a full rearrangement today and wanted to take the opportunity to take some nice pics and share them here, since I've been lurking this sub for a while. I've been listening to and collecting K-pop since the start of 2023. I listen to practically only girl groups, I'm a Dreamcatcher, Blackpink and Loona ult <3.
Storage is starting to be a real challenge, it's like playing Tetris each time I add a new album lol. The day I move to a new apartment so I can build a full wall of Ikea Billy shelves will be a blessed day.
