Thank you so much for addressing my concern. Also, it wasn't your post specifically that prompted me to write that comment or made me feel like Yeosang cards don't deserve those prices. I have seen a lot of collectors talk about that specific card and a lot of my moots on X were also enraged by it and a post about that card on X got some attention and the quotes of that post were all complaining about it. I knew that Ateez members cards are often overpriced and fans even joke how seonghwa cards cost an arm and a leg so after seeing so many people complain about it confused me. So my comment was definitely not towards you or because of your post. It was because how fans on many platforms were reacting to it. Also, just to make it clear, I in no way support that seller for pricing pcs so high. It's literally a piece of paper that anybody can print. Selling any cards for such high prices regardless of whether they are an album card or a pob is ridiculous. I also saw a post about that seller deleting comments calling them out and blocking those people. They definitely are not an atiny and just want to make money and I hate that fact. Atinys should help other atinys rather than make profits out of them. Personally, I am quite against the idea of buying and selling of cards. I get that people want to collect certain cards or their biases but I would rather prefer fans trading amongst themselves. It prevents fans getting exploited just because their bias is popular or certain members' cards being treated like "deadstock". Trading is actually way more fun and interactive as fans are helping each other out instead of making money out of each other. Thank you for all the Jongho praises. And I agree, him performing everything was life changing. Jongho deserves all the praise in the world for how much he contributes to the team. Also the jongho kissy pc st 14:59 is to fight for. It's so cute. Again thank you for addressing and talking about it. I feel like more collectors should talk about the "questionable" practices in the collecting community. Which reminds me I saw some fans selling pcs that they got signed during send off and it boils my blood because members are are so kind for interacting with fans and signing the merch after performing an entire concert, they must have been so tired but they still did send off for their fans only for these fans to turn around and sell those cards at ridiculous prices and take advantage of atinys. It's just so infuriating. To think that these people got send off instead of real atinys who appreciate the members' love and hardwork. Sorry for the rant.
I hope what I said in my video did not make it seem like I was devaluing Yeosang cards. I feel quite the opposite. But Sharita hit the nail on the head: cards, regardless of member, should be fairly priced no matter what. Member pricing has been and always will be a black mark on the collecting community and I always try to call out people who member price. That's why I also brought up the blanket pcs from Spin Off era in my video. People were marking up the prices for those pcs for every member. It was crazy, and all for an album card. We do need more compassion amongst collectors, but there are also people who definitely take advantage of collectors, and that's when we start to see the member pricing or pricing of merch at double the face value. It's incredibly frustrating.
@@noonelikehongjoong oh I know it wasn't directed towards me. I very much agreed with it because I am tired of ppl disrespecting Yeosang's cards but then when it's a cuter pose you wanna make a profit? So ridiculous. All cards should be priced the same. Again thank you so much for saying that. I certainly hope I explained myself, albeit in a chaotic fashion, how I felt. I'm a better writer than speaker lol. Thanks so much again. I really appreciate you
@@usserinprise definitely. I'm pretty sure the ppl selling that card at that big price aren't ATEEZ collectors. I wish there was a way there could be some kind of resolution
@shinestarcollections i wish there was a resolution too. I don't buy from people who member price and I always encourage others not to buy cards from people who member price. But it persists because there's always someone out there who will buy the card. And it sucks. I wish atinys could just collectively agree not to buy stuff from those types of people.
@@usserinprise I totally agree. Member pricing is what kills people's joy tbh. Along with the insane amounts of cards companies put out. I know people like me who pay more for Hwa are also part of the problem, but man when you really want a certain card, it's hard to say no.
Loved The Video. As A Yeosang Ult I Love Collecting Him Because He’s Priced Normally. I Try To Collect All Of His Album And Pobs. The Pricing Of That Digipak Card Is Absolutely Atrocious. The Thing That Made Stop Collecting Felix From Stray Kids Is Because Of The Crazy Overpricing. It’s So Draining I Don’t See How People Do It.
@@lovelyb5273 hi thank you for commenting. Yeah it is ridiculous. It's very sad because as collectors we're already spending quite a bit and then someone prices an album card for that much is incredibly wrong. Ah well. I'm just gonna grab a card with the same fit for a placeholder. I hope to get it eventually but if not I won't stress. Happy collecting and thx for the support 🙏
Ahhhh i love that clip of Jongho singing Everything. Its one of my favorite songs!! Also love your collections; definitely subscribed ❤
Ah thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed. And yes Jongho is amazing.
Not me wanting to steal your Jongo binder! He is so handsome and cute!
Isn't he just the cutest? I'm running out of space already and there's more Jongho to come.
