i love hearing people talking abt the overpricing on rv (specifically joohyun) cards and knowing they hate the prices just as much as me!! ive always ended up spending more on irene’s cards then any other sm idol i collect (besides taeyong😳) , it’s outrageous.
not taeyong collectors breaking the bank on his pcs 😪 it’s so frustrating seeing certain members pcs like TY and JH being so expensive..
zimzalabih i already collect 7 members (+shotaro.. maybe) so sometimes i just spend a little bit more on him but oh my god that superhuman kinho? i was not spending $50 on a card. thank god i was able to find it for a INSANELY good price($6!!)🤩
dang :0 $6 for any kihno card is a steal and especially taeyongs superhuman one? i’ve seen them go up to $120 on instagram 😶
zimzalabih literally,, i cried for three days after it got to me cause i basically gave up on finding it
I don’t know why sometimes photocards are much more expensive than buying unsealed albums itself
agreed !!!
Because you can’t 100% determine that your unsealed album will get the photo cards you wanted. Instead of gambling and opening something Random why don’t you pay a little more to guarantee you get the cards u needed
I agree. ☹ It's very expensive to buy Irene photocards. 😭 If you're into EXO, Baekhyun's cards are the expensive ones. 😅
irene stans do be spending 😭 and yes i heard that baekhyuns cards get quite pricey 😭
i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

I definitely agree !! Especially for out of print albums...a lot of RV’s older albums are harder to find at a decent price ESPECIALLY summer magic (I literally saw it 2 years or 1 year ago for £20 and now it’s more than £100) I also collect Dreamcatcher and any album before their most recent 3 cbs are insanely priced ! I really wish companies reprinted albums 😞
omg i’ve seen prices for dreamcatcher pcs... MADNESS 🤧
dreamcatcher is my ult gg and i wanna buy their older albums so badly but i just don't have $1000 to fork up for ONE album that only comes with one photocard
Yes king speak your factz
gotta put some of these sellers in their places 😌
My biggest issue is overpricing popular members.
Chanyeol and Baekhyun are like literal gold dust priced -.-
i've seen auctions for baekhyun's superm frog card 😳 the overpricing is CRAZY for that card
irene’s cards are literally $30 on mercari like what-
noooooo 😀
I once saw a Irene photo are that costs 80 dollars yet it was an album photocard
Photocard*
yep, one time one of her finale pc went up to $500 💀
@@zimzalabih I know😭
I think in general cards are staring to get overpriced like there are some Chungha cards from albums that are still in print & people are pricing them $20 or over for them. I'm an astro collector & cha eunwoo is the most over priced member, I've seen some of his cards at a ridiculous price while "the least popular" member is worth $5. & don't even get me started on bts & loona cards
i’ve heard about astro’s overpricing by member issues too 😖 it’s so sad to see other members mistreated and such by differences in prices :(
Not yes about Astro , even PCs of albums from the least popular members have been getting more expensive
I guess, Loona's pcs are overpriced because most of their albums are out of print (thx to BBC, god damn). I really wanted to start my big Loona collection about a year or two years ago, and it's just... It's even hard to find some of their albums not overpriced (and I'm not talking about limited ones), and they're not giving us a proper reprints often. That's why I'm amazed by all of the Loona collectors. Like, guys, you're wild and rich (and broke sometimes, apparently), lol.
i just came across this and whatever you say is so REAL esp on the overpricing part
I love irene and shes my bias💜👍
as a shinee and snsd collector i really understand the struggle, especially for out of print albums. usually when i do find OOP albums at a good price they say they dont come with a pc, and when i find pcs from the album being sold separately they cost more than the album 😭
that’s so sad 😭 it’s impossible to find shinee and snsd trades on IG/twitter nowadays :( but i heard mercari japan has snsd i think for super cheap so that’s a great place to look!
yessss omg yes
thank u for raising awareness about photocard overpricing!! ur content is as amazing as always :D
thank u, marina
frr idk anything abt photocards besides ur channel but yeah different prices by member is like determining their worth/value. it feels like a small thing but it could be seen as a big deal.
the sellers that sell at insane prices are either not/fake fans, fans that don't realize the implications, or maybe need money. overpriced photocards makes me sus on whether the sellers are fans bc i remember a huge jungkook fansite was exposed for being an anti and she made BANK and it's along the same lines
i agree. i feel like capitalizing off of a members popularity is wrong and very disrespectful to the group!
and yikes @that jk fansite 🤧🤧
as an irene collector i couldnt agree more ! shes so expensive that my collection of her is at least 1k T.T
I wanted to collect Jessica Jung cards except now i'm just going to have a incomplete binder page, on Ebay the ones I can find are going from $30- $100. Except she left SNSD in 2014 so her cards would be out of print and older.
as someone with a completed irene (& yeri) collection , im really excited to see all the cards come together in your binder! i hope you can find them all (for a good price hopefully)🤍!!
it really is satisfying to see a collection come together 😌 but omg congrats on your completed collections! and hopefully i can!
zimzalabih ahh thank you! i get so happy looking at all the pages, it’s my loona collection all over again😭
not loona 1st press pcs with overpricing... 💀
zimzalabih collecting those were TRAUMATIZING. ive always collected choerry and jinsoul so i already had theirs early on and basically had to sacrifice my soul for gowon and hyunjins💔
each loona card/album costs a kidney 💔
just for ppl watching this who may think its ridiculous to complain about a few dollars of a difference between members
$11 alone isn't a bad price, like if you pulled a card but really wanted another and can't trade for it so u buy one and sell the other, but when you have 100+ cards to collect it adds up
those few dollars make a difference especially when there's shipping involved.
at the end of the day, these are literally paper selfie/non selfie cards that we as fans have put a value on. I love collecting but like chill ppl they do NOT need to be this expensive
^^^agreed!!
Your voice is sooo nice to listen to! I really enjoyed your video 🥺
thank you 😭 i really appreciate it and i'm glad you enjoyed 💓
I was hardcore collecting OT5 photocards up until TRF Day 1 when I took a break for about a year and a half. Recently, during quarantine, I got back into it and the prices now are absolutely insane. I was caught off guard by TRF Finale going out of print since album cards were always so easy to complete and now I'm kicking myself for not completing the set sooner. I think I'm just going to have to collect my ult now since the prices and scarcity have made it so difficult.
omg literally psycho stans made the prices skyrocket 🤧 prices for rv were normal up until finale, even day 2 and day 1 were normally priced :,)
I hope you go well with your collection, love your channel!
thank youuuuuu 💓 i truly appreciate ur support 🥺
Definitely agree with everything you said. The sad thing is that it won’t stop since ppl love to overprice 😸💔 also this is so random but what type of tripod do u use 🧍🏻♀️
sad but true :,) and i actually made a DIY phone holder with a mic stand, phone clip, and table edge clip!
this is why i thank the stars my irene luck is so good cause i collect some of her cards and ive been wanting to go all in on her but the prices hers go for put me off soooo freaking much. and then i see the prices yeri's go for (shes my main rv bias) and its so different??? like hello its just so disrespectful. collecting is supposed to be fun not anxiety inducing for ppl who cant afford the prices these cards are going for
exactly! i feel like it forces ppl to have a full time job in order to afford a complete collection since the cards go for so much 😭
Well the channie card is in a nice home uwu thanks again for being so transparent during the bid. Tho yeah it would've been very cool to end up in a messenger chat thingy ! Uwu
yes thank you so much for being so understanding! i’m so happy that chan went to a loving home 🥺
@@zimzalabih uwu I'll keep on supporting your channel ! I hope you find the dreaded missing Irene card from Finale xD
I bought the Lucas’s empathy for $6 because it was damaged but I don’t mind it. I wouldn’t pay 45 dollar for one card.
omg what a steal! i actually decided to collect an nct member and i paid around $10-15 for each of them 🤭
i just recently started collecting lucas photocards and wow i’m so poor now 😭 i’m canadian so seeing a $14USD card is equivalent to $18.50CAD, plus paypal fees and shipping fees :( its been really frustrating since hes one of the more “sought after” members meanwhile taeil is my 127 bias, and it makes me so sad when he’s “cheaper” than other members.. :(
some of lucas’ totm cards go for so much... especially the thai press ones 🤧 and the paypal fees really do add up when purchasing outside of the country :(
I feel you! It gets so annoying when people buy 30 dollars pc like that’s literally more expensive then the album it’s self
here in singapore, irene album cards are often sold around SGD$14-$20+ and ITS JUST ALBUM CARDS. i came across a seller auctioning irene's heart finale pc starting from $50 😢 it's so hard being an irene collector :(
it’s actually so annoying to see ppl start bids at $50... i hope you can complete your irene collection soon 🥺🥺
WHERE YOU FINDING THESE IRENE PHOTO CARDS FOR 10 DOLLARS IVE NEVER SEEN AN IRENE PHOTOCARD FOR LESS THAN 20 DOLLARS
I love your videos as always !
thank you so much for tuning in 🤧
i love ur videos sm!! 🥺
thank you so much! 🥺🥺
literally!! i collect seulgi and i collected V from bts and collecters put them up for 10+ it’s annoying i had to stop collecting bts for that reason
bts is so expensive and seulgi has been getting more expensive too lately :,)
i decided to start collecting both irene and seulgi and trying to find some of their older pcs, summer magic, and some of the final pcs for under £30 is a struggle... especially the glitter tears card 😭
woah £30 is a lot for a single card 😭 hopefully w finale coming back in print glitter tears will be much cheaper!!
yess for reallll!! Overpricing is not it. Seulgi tears for 17 dollars... And the price difference too
& now people are hosting auction for the latte irene here in singapore, and it went up to 70+ bucks i-
im from the uk and all members cost around the same price of like £10+, which is kinda pricy but i have no choice but too buy them at the price
oh my gosh that’s quite expensive! i’m positive that there are cheaper prices on instagram/twitter if that helps :)
@@zimzalabih yh ikr, its the same with instagram - only like the first few older ocs are like around £7 but after that it goes over £10
For the out of print. I mean empathy is about to become 3 years old and finale is one year old, if an unfair price is really finale and not empathy, hoping for the restock to put the prives lower
all of the older SM albums went out of print earlier last year which really drove prices up :( hopefully they go down!
OMG THE NEW INTRO YESSSSSSS. anyways my daily life update: I was just listening to you never know by blackpink while crying and eating cookies 😢
thank u 😭 and omg i still haven’t listened to the full album yet but lovesick girls bop
zimzalabih ikr! I saw someone hating on it but it’s not everyone’s style I guess.
Whoa I’ve been paying $20 for yoongi cards 😭😅
nooooo 😭 hopefully the prices go down or you can find different sellers!
so im just kinda confused so why do u put the pcs inside a plastic sleeve when ur gonna put it in the binder that already has sleeves? r u meant to do this orrrr??
I always find irene cards for a good price usually 6-8€ and that’s ok. I also started collecting non album stuff like you do and let me say mercari is a no for that... usually non album stuff is cheaper on bunjang (at least that’s what I heard). I always try to find all the cards for really cheap and had luck with it. (found Irene paper folder for 20$ lmao)
dang that seems like a good price. irenes non album stuff is so expensive and hard to find but i admire u for that :0 i really want to get access to bunjang but idk how :,)
Woahh your collection ⚡️⚡️
I'm no big collector, only buying those PC that i like...true, in my place too irene is the most expensive lol i always check her cards price from time to time...so when there's new seller offering lower price for the PC that i think is quite rare or i rly like...i'll immediately book it.
Like irene bad boy kihno one, i just booked it this morning under usd 10...i can't believe my luck,,..this one is not my top priority since I have this desire for irene yokohama R cards, or her anything R cards...i think it's quite rare cz i saw the price in mercari quite high and not all seller in my place has it...so i'm just waiting and keep checking if the price going down (i hope) lol...i rly don't want to buy cards for more than usd 10, i'd rather buy album i think :(
Hi, may I know what is the last Irene photocard?
But like it’s just normal and fair since more people wanted irene so it’s much more expensive. And some albums are much more rare than the others, in my country/city finale albums are so damn expensive Which makes the popular cards much more expensive.
ahhhhh as an irene bias i'm so happy to see you starting her collection! but why did you start collecting ryujin's cards if lia is your bias? ✨
ryujin has been bias wrecking me since icy era and her stage presence and tone is just WOW. i’ve decided to collect ryujins cards since i’ve changed biases to her from lia! but i still LOVE lia and all of the members 🥺
zimzalabih ohhhhhh i thought lia was still your bias so i was confused- honestly ryujin bias wrecks me so hard 24/7 😤
i was slowly turning into a ryujin bias, but after not shy i decided to fully commit 🙈
zimzalabih wow it’s kinda the opposite for me! i was a ryujin vías and then at wannabe i became a lia but ryujin was still like head to head and then after not shy it was lia all the way 😌
omg that’s so coincidental... itzy queens tho PERIOD
i collect joy and yeri i wouldn't say it's hard to collect them since i'm almost done with my joy collection (due to buying this girls joy collection) yeri isn't bad but it's harder to find her older album cards since they aren't in print. but overall i still enjoy both of my collections and i'm proud overall of how far my collection is since i've only been collecting for 3 months, but overall i hope the collecting community gets better with the whole pricing thing bc it is annoying.
omg i’m so happy your joy collection is almost complete! some of yeris sets like rookie, red summer, and finale are my absolute favorites from the albums but i after that some price cuts need to happen in the community 😖
Yes, irene cards are so dang expensive, like why Irene cards are from 19-54 dollars 😭😭😭😭
what album is that last irene photocard from?
is there away to tell which one is fake and which one is real photocards?? i get a little confused sometimes...
i just traded this seulgi glitter tears card for 4 twice cards making sure the person i traded was totally fine with that, considering that you get 5-7 twice cards in 1 album. And she told me that it's really hard to find this card and if you find it, it's really expensive....i was like O.O
i stopped collecting red velvet cards right before finale dropped, so it's wild to hear that people sell their cards for so much when just a year ago i didn't pay more than 8-10 euros for one card including shipping even from ebay
omg the legendary seulgi pc 👀👀 so many rv collectors would drop $50 on that card this instant and it really is wild to see how much the market has changed 😭
HI IM SO LATE IDK IF YOULL SEE THIS BUT I want to start collecting photo cards, what are responsible prices for them? And what’s overpriced?
hi!! it really depends on the group! some groups give more cards per album so their cards are cheaper, while groups like red velvet only give one card per album. but it really does vary! i would look on instagram or ask collectors abt specific groups :)
i collect for ateez and oml the prices are crazy
omg i’ve heard abt the member overpricing of certain ateez members 😭
omg im so late🕳👩🦯 but i totally agree with everything you said, overpricing/member pricing rlly should stop. no member is worth more than another one,, like?&:!:&):$&/ on another note,, you inspired me to start collecting rv so tysm :’)
ahh thank you for watching! and that makes me so happy to hear 🤧🤧
I bias Wendy and Irene but all of rv's photocards are expensive in my country😭 Id rather buy an album than paying 800 pesos(16 usd) on a photocard
omg they really are 😔 and some ppl use the “out of print” excuse to jack up the prices 😪
@@zimzalabih ikr!!! specifically irenes "out of print" pcs
Yesterday I decided to collect Irene I can definitely agree with the overpricing but even with other groups prices are so high. I price everything I sell for an amount that I would pay.
what happened to all album pcs costing max $7 😭
zimzalabih Honestly! even paying $10 is to high 😭
I spent 95$ on a Irene pc and I’m happy with it but I still wanted 2 more but I already spent all my saved up money on it:( I wanted to buy the day 1 Irene photocard where she’s eating a pancake and the summer magic Irene limited pc!
I thought finale was just not in stock because someone said it was only summer magic limited the ones that pop up
hmm i normally base it off of ktown4u, amazon, and smglobalshop and since they haven’t been stocked in several months, i kinda just assumed they were oop(?) but fs the limited summer magic albums are oop!
i’m soo late but i recently started collecting irene and i cant find majority of her cards anywhere so do you have any suggestions on what apps or websites to look?
i’d really suggest instagram! tons of people list their cards up for sale or trade there! ebay and twitter are also places i check frequently :)
Just like in ITZY photocards. Ryujin and Yeji photocards often cost $6 and above. The worst price I have seen so far is $12. When I first started collecting photocards, all I saw was overpriced PCs so when a little bit affordable PC appeared, I desperately clicked order and I thought I was being wise lmao so when I learned how it actually works, I was like 🤦🏻♀️. Of course, some people are still falling and taking those overpriced PCs, can't blame them especially if they are new and just want to collect everything fast. Suprised that it got better recently for some sellers (I think). I only collect ITZY and not as dedicated for BLACKPINK. I stopped taking interest in collecting anything about LOONA, only have my bias solo with me. They are expensive af. 😂 Nice collection btw.
itzy photocards go for so much for some reason. i've noticed that ryujin is so expensive (as i started collecting her recently). and i agree with you that i think new collectors have an urge to complete their collections quickly so they're willing to overpay 😔
i want to grow my photo card collection, where can i buy official ones?
I don’t get people who say qyop but then get offended when u ask them what they’re looking for.... I only put qyop when it’s from groups I don’t collect so I don’t even know the pricing
Also the transparent bidding thing.. someone really told me someone offered them $700 for something and expected me to give a counter offer...
and no one probably offered them $700 😗
U Got Irene slenderman photocard! 😳
yup, it's iconic 🙈
As a Japanese person I'm sorry that you couldn't get the card because of that shady seller :(
Just a suggestion though, have you ever considered buying from Buyee? They buy stuff for you on Mercari from the original seller and send it to you. It's going to be more expensive because there's a middle man involved, but I've never been scammed there and your transactions will be transparent.
i’m japanese as well and haven’t had a poor experience with japanese sellers before either :,)
and i have purchased through buyee before! i haven’t purchased anything recently but do refresh the page every now and then :) the fees do add up tho 😭
i mean it’s just a piece of cardstock TT thank god im still normal enough for not buying kihno pcs and normal pcs that cost 10$ above, bcs nct mark is a popular member too :
mark is super popular and his cards have gotten expensive lately :( but it’s really great you set a budget for yourself!
I'm mising the kidno bad boy and 1 final photocard in order to be full album Irene photocard :<
Also a rare card in my country cost like $20-40 or more lol
omg the bad boy kihno is gonna be the death of me :( and noooooo that’s horrible! have you tried using ebay/proxy services?
@@zimzalabih I haven't because if I order from there the shipping fee I think it would be alot also :(
Bruh, i saw on shopee somebody was selling a jimin photocard from the map of the soul black swan version for 96 dollars wtf thats to expensive you can buy many albums with that
not 96 dollars 🤡😭😭😭
@@zimzalabih For real people sell bts photocards for 30 dollars but the most expensive is the maknae line🤡🤡🤡
And the peekaboo album with russian roullete is sold out nobody is selling it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Theres not many luvies hereeeee😩😩😩

So i dont see any girl group merch😭😭😭😭😭
50 dollars without sf is just the worsttt
I’ve seen people sell a Jennie card for 150 dolllars
💔💔
Irene's TPRV kihno went up for bidding and the winning bid was $60 😌 I frigging hate it here.
it’s so bad that i don’t think that’s expensive 😭 ive seen that card go for $150+ 🤧🤧
i still find that one pc of irene's shadow funny i mean why her shadow? huhuhu
oh noooo that one shouldn’t be too hard to find at least 😭
@@zimzalabih ikr but still it sends 💀💀
Lol didn’t you put irene smcu sm ver for qyop and it reached to 50$? Don’t tell it’s because 2/55 because you can find other artists for like 10$-15$ 😂😂😂😂😂
When my ult ggs PCs go for upwards of 200$ on eBay 🧎🏻♂️🚑💨
noooooo 😀
I paid like 22 dollars for a whole BTS photocard set 👁👄👁
bestie irene and seulgi go for like 30 dollars minimum now kfjskjdfndjksd
most of their cards can be found for less than $10, just certain kihno pcs are pricey 😭
I'm not into collecting any kpop stuff and english isn't my first language so when I heard "..50 dollars for a card" I passed out-
I was like "okay bitch, maybe I'm stupid and they said 15 not 50" but then you repeated 50 AND BRO I JUST FELL. THEN 100 DOLLARS? 100? OH MY GOD-
talk yo shit
