What is the photocards business? - K-pop photocards

Do you know what the photocard is?

 

BTS photocards

 

A photocard usually came in a 2.17in x 3.35in photo and printed on a carton paper - some are as thick as a plastic card. Photocards can come when you order the album ; in a set of full members, but they can come out randomly too. Apart from the albums, photocards also come from merchandise like lightstick, plush, cosmetics or season greetings. The inclusions from this merchandise usually include photocards that are more expensive than albums photocards.

 

A printed carton paper? How expensive could it be?

I know you may think, "A piece of a printed photo? How much could it be? Not more than a one-person pass for all-you-can-eat restaurants, right? How can this become a business opportunity exactly?" To break it to you, the price of one photocard ranges from 1 USD to 5,000 USD. Yes, it can go that insane. The price for each member may differ from the others. That concludes that the most popular members usually are sold at a higher price than the least famous members. So it became the huge business and it is getting bigger than ever. 

Do you like Straykids? Why don't you collect them?

 

So do you wanna start this? If yes, you need to have a shipping proxy first. To collect them and pick out from the album to reduce the shipping cost. Here, I would like to recommend you one shipping proxy in Korea. They offer a collecting the photocards(pick out service) and forwarding servince in your favor.
