'Papels' as investments? An introductory guide to K-pop photocards

Each physical album contained one random photocard, and the buyer would only know which member they got after opening the album.

New magazine? Here’s a photocard. New DVD? Here’s a photocard. New hoodie? Here’s a photocard. Even masks, calendars, socks, and water bottles have photocards as their inserts now. In the K-pop fan community, photocards’ market value has always been a sensitive subject. Pre-order benefit cards, or POBs, are only released at a certain period of time – usually when a fan purchases an album before its actual release date. POBs also often differ with each purchase site. This makes POBs one of the most in-demand collectibles. Ysa Abad/Rappler

If the photocard is from a recent album or an album that is still in production, fans agree that it shouldn’t be “overpriced.” But, the meaning of “overpriced” cards even differ with each fandom. If someone is just starting in a specific fandom, it’s hard for them to find POBs from a previous era. Same with old album PCs, especially if that specific album is no longer in production. If a company doesn’t restock their old album releases, then only the PCs from the current available old albums will circulate the market.
