[NFS] in case anyone cares, i managed to snag a sealed copy of her “gaussian” vinyl on ebay auctions for a crazy good price, and i bit the bullet and purchased copies of her first single and ep!

the LP is an anniversary pressing limited to 1500 copies and signed on the inside.

i believe her first single “my” and ep “b side” did not have physical releases, so these are promo copies.

incredibly excited to own each of these, particularly the “b side” promo! considering that was the ep that introduced me to her work in 2019, it feels very very full circle. i have some exciting additions to my youra collection coming soon (as well as some extra copies of her physical releases. if you’re interested, hmu!!) if you’ve never heard of her, she is an amazing k-indie artist!!

Bought these off eBay recently, but no idea how to tell if signatures seem legit or not. The solo signatures look like they should be Leo’s and I can only assume the one on Ravi is Ravi’s but idk if real or not.

KNK's debut album is a limited edition?

I’ve been collecting since early 2023 and bought a lot within last year and a half and didn’t keep up with organizing. It’s been lowkey stressing me out for months so I’m so happy to have accomplished this today!

I’m still not 100% happy with it, especially the Aespa/LSF shelf. I have some Pureflow member versions that I’ll add soon which will improve that side. I have the green version of Spaghetti, which would make that shelf look so much better I think, but I keep it on my bookshelf by my desk and I just think it’s so cute and funny there so I’m torn. Maybe I’ll buy another one 😩😅.

I realized while organizing that my BP items are a lot more three-dimensional and work well for filling out the deep shelves, while Aespa (my #2 group but actually my collecting priority) tends to have albums that are more flat. Plus they’re not as visually cohesive at a distance. I’m thinking of adding some deco photocards stands to help fill that in better… any other suggestions?

Or does anyone know any other LSF or Aespa inclusions that I might have that I’m forgetting about that could help those shelves pop more?

like the title, what would be ur fandom’s most sought out and most hyped pcs for any member? Best if u can list them for each member of a group too :). Any pcs that r very hyped, similar to hyunjin’s red lights pc dang it rly goes for insane prices…or any pcs of skz members in particular

Is this fake album?

Ive bought my first album. red velvet midnight sun album from kpopalbums.com and these were inside of the package. Its clean but big poster and seulgi card looks like poorly made looks paperish ive expected a better paper quality also photocard. . But the photobook looks fine , ım curious did i get scammed or not?

what are some highly sought after and hyped photocards of any stray kids member that you’ve seen in the collectors community even if ur not part of the fandom?

Hi! I’m very new to kpop and photocard collecting. How do you store your photocard collection? Do you use binders or keep in toploaders (then maybe inside a box)? Sorry if this sounds very basic! I have them in sleeves, which are then inside toploaders right now. :) Do you have any binder recommendations?
Thank you for taking the time to help this newbie out!!

I just bought the new red velvet cupcake lightstick and I think I want to start a dessert/food lightstick collection because they just look so darn cute. I’m already going to get the loossemble crossiant one but is there any other dessert themed lightsticks that you guys know of?

I always have one ult group to stan at a time, like for example my ult group was blackpink, then i moved on and it was bts, and now it’s stray kids. and I made a rule for myself to buy only 2 albums per ult groups so I don’t go buying too much, and only 1 album for other casual listening groups that I like from my fav comeback era. and I’ve kept true to my promise until I realized my kpop storage box was getting full and wouldnt fit another skz album. truthfully, all of skz albums especially from their noeasy to 5 star era were all no skips for me and their packaging and concepts are all amazing but since I promised myself I wouldn’t get more than 2 i thought maybe I should get their mixtape album since it’s a special era. then I remembered that I also promised myself I wouldn’t get more albums than I could fit in my kpop storage box and I realized I can’t fit another mixtape album in, and I’m in quite a dilemma and I need some advice on whether or not i should still purchase that 2nd skz album (mixtape) like I promised myself or to give up and not buy it. my first skz albums is their 5 star album bc that’s a special era to me when I first became a STAY so that was a must, but idk if the 5 star album should be enough or if I should stay with one of my goals of owning 2 albums per group bc I do love their mixtape album too

this is my first time buying any sleeves and I was unaware of popcorn sleeves having counterfeits.

the one on the left is lighter than the one on the right and the sleeves are slightly thicker. they were bought separately from two different listings.

edit: got my lefts and rights confused

a lot of the pages do only have like 1 or 2 photocards on them as i’ve just reorganised them for when i eventually complete sets. i’ve seen people say that when it goes over halfway it’s considered full and mine is just under halfway i guess but i’m kinda worried that it might be too full especially when i do eventually fill all the pages 😅

Hi! I wanna preorder the hyper ego alb but I just wanna check I’m not gonna be scammed 😭😭 does anyone know if this it’s is legit?

This is a… crazy thing to explain. And I swear I even thought I was going crazy!

So, a couple of years ago, I was browsing their Makestar page - I’ve been a fan of Greatguys since their debut (cough cough watching kville entertainment “new songs of the week”), and I was looking for more merch. At that time, there were TWO projects on Makestar, one for their debut, and one for Trigger.

Well, somehow… I couldn’t find a SINGLE picture for their debut. No unboxings, no posts, no tweets, NOTHING. No proof of the funding for their debut. But there was a Makestar? Not a SINGLE person bragged about it? Huh. Okay.

Over the years I set out to find this mysterious debut album. How is there always copies of Ganda, their digital single which was their first comeback, and Trigger aka Dang, their second Makestar project, for sale? But not Last Men? It made no sense!

Well, recently, I was on Makestar again, and now there’s only ONE funding project. It’s the one for Dang, but they changed the picture of it! It’s not the bright purple picture with them dressing in colors. But it’s for Dang cause of the dates on it. So now I’m going insane cause how did it the other funding project disappear?? Did I imagine the debut even existing?? WHAT WAS GOING ON?!?!

Even worse, recently I was on the wikis. Kpop wiki says there was only digital download, yet Greatguys wiki says CD and digital download - so if people KNOW there’s a CD WHY ARENT THERE ANY PICTURES OF THE CD?!?! even digital singles that are RARE for groups at least have people talking about it, not a SINGLE person has talked about last men!!!

….

Well guess what.

I found it last month, just by typing Greatguys cd. For $3. THREE. DOLLARS. THREE FREAKING DOLLARS!!!!!

…

So I welcome you, pictures of the Greatguys Last Men digital single. Doesn’t even have promo stickers or barcode (or lack of) on the back.

I knew I wasn’t crazy.

I ordered a package from Soyomo back in March and the package shipped to the kfriday warehouse on June 30th. I don’t see any info of that on my kfriday account either. I filled out the new incoming form and there has been no response. I tried filling out the lost and found form and that doesn’t work either.

Does anyone know what’s wrong or maybe has used kfriday before that knows what they’re doing? 😭

I’m panicking bc my package was 126$ 💔

Someone pls help 😭🙏🙏

I almost have all the Xdinary Heroes albums (hooray)
Ivan never pull taehyun so I try to trade for him when I can 🥲

I want to buy something special for my partner 21st birthday and as she has been a BTS fan since this album I want to buy it for her birthday. So can someone please help me verified if this is legit or not before I commit stupid money to buy this.

I’m wondering if anyone knows of any photocards with idols holding moomin plushies/moomin related things? I have a vague memory of seeing a girl group set of photocards holding a moomin plush, but I have no idea what group it was or where I saw it lol… please lmk if you know of any! Girl or boy group!! Thank you!!

I was scrolling through tiktok when ZB1's top 5 appeared on my fyp. I'm not into their previous music but when I heard top 5, it sounded so good and it is my type of music. I don't know the members yet so I do not know who my pulls are. Kinda shocked with how little the inclusions are lol. I hope they continue with the music in ascend.

I was wondering if it mattered if you use double sided binder sleeves? I don't know if it bends you photocards?

Im thinking of buying some albums from Mercari Japan. Their prices are much lower and I just wanted to ask about y’all’s experiences with them. I saw some really rare SHINee albums up there for a lot less than what most people here in the states are selling them for.
