Most Expensive K-Pop Photocards

Photocard price FAQ

Why are some K-pop photocards worth hundreds of dollars?

Price follows scarcity and demand. Cards from fansigns, lucky draws, pre-order benefits and limited album versions exist in far smaller numbers than album inclusions, and when the member is one of a group’s most popular the few copies that surface get bid up. Out-of-print releases and cards tied to a memorable era or concept climb further as collectors complete sets.

How does Bias Room calculate photocard prices?

Bias Room collects listings from eBay, Mercari, Bunjang and its own marketplace, then matches each listing photo to a catalog photocard with image recognition. The highest sold price is the top verified sale for that card; the median sold price is the middle of all its recorded sales, which is the better guide to what you would actually pay. Listings that never sold do not count toward sold prices.

How often is this ranking updated?

Price metrics are recomputed daily from newly scraped and matched listings, and this page is rebuilt from the latest recompute. The “Last updated” stamp above the table shows when the current numbers were computed.

Where does the price data come from?

From publicly listed and sold items on eBay, Mercari and Bunjang, plus sales completed on the Bias Room marketplace. Prices in other currencies are converted to USD at the rate on the day of the sale. Bias Room does not set prices; it reports what collectors actually paid.
