I dont get the appeal of photocards tbh

what's the point in magic cards and Pokémon cards? Sports cards?

Collections..collectability of it. The value of rare cards etc no different then a baseball fan collecting baseball cards

Atleast u can play with Pokemon cards, it got hit points, attacks etc stats

Interesting that sports cards are considered valuable collectors items, while idol card are scuffed at. What really is the difference?

It’s a human on a card with no use.

It’s almost like….

they're pretty and shiny

you get a new one every album like a birthday surprise even though it's not your birthday

you can collect your biases photocards

if you bias nugu boy groups and girl groups then the cards are easier to collect

they shine brightly in the sun like a diamond

i do get why people want them, but i dont know why people decorate them and put them on keychains. like, why?

Same.

And if ever I would ever want it, it’s available online in HD and print in a better quality paper. If there is an option to buy albums without that and have it cheaper, I would. Sure, my faves look good and all but I just don’t know what to do with it.

You can play with magic cards too...

Oh those were the days lol

But kpop cards are useless

Isnt it the same for baseball, hockey, football? A shiny human on a card yet a babe Ruth card is worth thousands plus?

I enjoy collecting photocards of my favorite stars while I dont own every card ever made I am missing like 8 for my sunyoul collection.

I have pcs worth hundreds of dollars. There is no difference its just a different level of consumers.

I find it really interesting tho the social construct that make some things highly valuable in society in general or nisch

Some friends collect vintage vinyls and - omg - one of his records he paid £2000 for

this is good idea for companies to make some fantasy themed photocards

like JYP Fantasy Nation, and you will have all idols cards wish stats + special cards to do some moves

maybe they could include some board as well and at least this will be a game and not just a POCA that you put somewhere in the closet lol

That’s actually a really fun idea!

Same, I prefer photobooks. I don't buy albums when I think all photobooks are ugly

Me neither. I’d look at it once and then never again

Well... I own two photocards and I have them lying in an album and don't do anything with them.

I'm getting a bit reminded of the Diddl craze in my country, where children used to be trading Diddl papers with other children.

I still own some old Diddl papers, and some of them, I have written stuff on.

Okay, thinking about Diddl makes me feel joyful nostalgia
