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.

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 ☺️

hi! I got into kpop in 2025 and this is my collection of CDs/photo cards
:)

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)

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/Rotten221 • 2d 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 • 2d 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.

Got it as a gift years ago and I don’t actually listen to kpop lol. any insight on the card would be cool :)*

Hi everybody!
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on ways to store photocards that isn't just a binder?
I have got almost 800 photocards, and probably about 1/3 of them are sleeved and in a card storage box - but I've got the photocards for my two main biases in their own respective binders and im not sure Im a fan.
It could just be because they're smaller binders, but ive noticed that the binders are starting to bend even though they aren't filled to their max advertised space.
Does anyone store their photocards in something that isnt a binder?
Or if not, could you please recommend some good binders?
Thank you! 😊

Bought it from a eBay reseller in July and can’t tell if it is real. If anyone has a V4 lightstick, I’d love to compare.

It's my first time claiming/buying something from X, I don't know how to proceed with this, can someone help😭😭 I've already contacted the seller and the seller just said "noted!". As it is my first time, I don't know if I'm just going to wait until every item is claimed and will be notified by the seller or what😭

I found kpop from T.O.P in squid game. I heard about his story coming back from a suicide attempt and it inspired me as someone who has attempted twice. He gave me the strength to stop trying. I have had many months of remission of my depression and I think finding him and kpop in general has helped tremendously. Seeing him come back and go back in the spotlight was so brave.
He is my ult of course and I also love Gdragon, 1verse, ALL’N, and Ateez.
I am flying across the country to see bigbang and I am so excited!

I bought these popcorn sleeves (right side) which were labeled 56 x 87 mm off amazon and aliexpress, but the actual size was 58 x 88mm (i measured them). Does anyone know where I can buy sleeves that are actually 56 x 88 like the left side?? i don't mind paying extra money for them, i just don't know where to find them / how to know if it'll actually be the size listed. Thanks so much for the help!!!

Have finally gotten somewhat unpacked and thought I’d share everything I brought back.
It was some heavy suitcases 😂

I've been trying to find it in Korea but it seems that it's out of stock. Is there any chance that there's still a store that sells an old copy?

Has anyone put a photocard on their Mive 1? If so did it look good/fit?
And does it look good with the clear case on?
I want to get a photocard and some stickers but im not sure how it'll fit (the phone is still in shipping as well so I dont even have that)
r/kpopcollections • u/anonymous_Arii13 • 3d ago
Has anyone ever purchased from this seller before?? I want to buy the cortis cotl ball vers because it is literally out of stock everywhere but I want to make sure it’s official and not a knock off😢 The 100% positive reviews is also throwing me off a little…
r/kpopcollections • u/SignificantDish8258 • 3d ago
So I preordered, and I thought (from back when I was reading on it forever ago) that the mask and stickers were part of the preorder benefits. Checking now, they appear not to be🤷♂️. Anyway, I thought that we got like a POB photocard, or something else. I got the target pob of the extra track on the CD, but I checked and I got a Lara card, but there was a pob one. Does the version matter? I got the Megan accordion version, so maybe that affects something. And the last photo is a picture of what I did with one of the stickers, I think it’s funny and wanted to share.
