What are /r/kpopcollections' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I personally only use them for signed albums just so the signatures don’t come off, but I can understand wanting to use them for other reasons like keeping the dust off of them.

I bought these ones so just in case I get some albums that are bigger, but it probably won’t fit big ones like some NCT or Pentagon albums due to its size. comic book bags

I have mine out and use doll stands from Amazon to stand them up. I see people do stand them with no support but they are top heavy and I love in earthquake country. You can see the stands here.

There are a few brands of CD players like that, the most famous one is called Astronord, but specifically the one I have is from Amazon and is called Qoosea: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Reproductor-Bluetooth-reproductor-integrados-auriculares/dp/B07XFCJZQC

On Amazon they have like plastic photo sleeves that come in a bunch of different sizes with a resealable closer. photo sleeves

I just bought a doll stand (suggestion I got from this sub) and here is my SHINee lightstick on display.

I took measurements and the part around the neck is what would be the doll's waist so that's really the height measurement you'd reference for the lightstick as in that's more important than overall doll height if you are shopping for these.

i got it from amazon ! they have lots of colors so this is the third one i’m buying i recommend them highly theyre so cute

Oof, I would maybe switch to another brand of putty or use a different way of hanging up the posters. This is the one I use, I have had no problems with it at all and I've been using it for a couple years: https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Brand-860-Removable-Multicolor/dp/B000AN7EW4

I'm so sorry about the stains though, I don't think you can do anything about them :(

Personally I keep my bigger items and my photocards separate. I keep my postcards and other larger items in a regular binder with the pages they fit in. My cards I keep in premium ultrapro binders. You can't add pages since they're bound to the spine, but it keeps my cards from bending because everything lays flat no matter how full. I double sleeve with thick card sleeves and color sleeves so if they were stored in a normal binder they would probably also be bent :( but my binder keeps them safe! They're more expensive than a normal binder, but imo definitely worth the investment especially if you have rare cards! Also I would use thicker sleeves because it gives more support for the cards :)

These are some of the items I use: Photocard binder

sleeves (premium dark purple)

I use these acrylic polaroid displays Theyre thick, heavy and stand up well! It’s a little outer shell and then a heavy piece of clear acrylic over it. It fits super nicely and is really protective!

i got them off of amazon, but those exact ones aren’t available anymore :/ these are almost identical though!

Ultra Pro also makes magazine bags. Another company, BCW, makes "Life Magazine" bags; these bags hold 11" x 14" magazines and some larger albums.

here's the hooks They're a bit pricey there, i got a pack for 15, but that's the ones i used :)

Tbh if it’s for photocards I feel like there are just so many PCs per group that it’s best to follow like accounts dedicated to making templates for the groups you follow! But if you want an album database I usually just make my own with notion.

I think Soyeons Windy album is shaped like a McDonalds happy meal box? Either way, it's cute and I appreciate the design but it takes up space

Thanks! I got them from amazon here

https://www.amazon.com/Golden-State-Art-Real-Glass-Sawtooth/dp/B09VCQ97N8

It’s a little pricey but they come in a pack of three so it comes to about $30 per frame. They’re all metal and I personally think they’re really high quality for the price

I got it from amazon. I’d try searching amazon or wayfair for ‘deep bookcase’ too, or you may have to dig through by hand looking for the deeper ones.

If that dosent work out amazon japan right now.

personally I use these pages to store my cards. I like them because they look and feel a lot nicer.

Any other sleeve would work as well as long as it's pvc/acid free.

If you are from the United States, I found the white version for awake here on Amazon. It's going for $35.99 + $6.99 shipping. And this Seller on eBay for the Day Dream album random version.

I used to use the magnetic ones too but I found they took up too much space. And somehow, maybe because they are a little top heavy? everytime I closed my shelf doors they'd fall over so I actually switched to these for my polaroids. I like them and the uv protection is a bonus!

I'm a fan of these acrylic photo frames. You can buy ones that are close to the exact size, but the magnets could possibly damage anything directly under them so I always size up. Here's a postcard and PC displayed this way!

i don’t normally display my pcs and just keep them in my binder. but when i do display some of my all time favs i use baseball card magnetic card holders w/ stands

here’s an example w/my display

I have a few binders going. My main one for Dreamcatcher which was my first group I collected are in an A5 binder that I already owned, and I purchased 4 pocket sleeves for them off a Korean seller on Etsy.

I have two other albums which are the Sanrio photocard holders. People on Etsy and Instagram gouge the prices and sell them for upwards of $30, but you can get them on Amazon.JP for around $15/16 not including shipping. I order from Amazon.JP for textbooks a lot, so the shipping isn't an issue for me since I'm usually spending $100 or more.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/SANRIO-Melody-Trading-EnjoyIdol-452190/dp/B08QN4DS8K/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2JP20QW3MAGP6&keywords=photocard%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%83%90%E3%83%A0&qid=1651370945&sprefix=photocard%2Balbum%2Caps%2C43&sr=8-7&...

I use these albums for my Pixy, Purple Kiss, and Rolling Quartz cards.

Thank you! :) I used little magnets and blue painters tape (it won’t damage the wall).

Cut a rectangle of tape, stick the magnet to it, and stick it to the wall. Then put the poster and another magnet on top!

I tried to link the magnets from Amazon above but it didn’t work, so here!

I don't usually sleeve oddly sized inclusions but postcard and oversized card sleeves have worked for what I have. For more specific sizes you can look up Sleeve Kings—as mentioned in another comment—or Arcane Tinmen's board game sleeves and find the closest fit. The former is an affordable brand while the latter has thick and study sleeves.

I got these 9 pocket pages that are horizontal (won't let me post a short link). Because I hate having photocards facing sideways in my binder.

Haha. The Year of Yes pages! Allegedly they’re for 4 tarot and ‘4 mini american’ whatever that is, and reviews say they also work well for Star Wars Armada ship and card game.

Sure, searching on Amazon for ‘ultrapro page’ or ‘bcw page’ will get you the most common ones.

This is a link to my postcard pages https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HISV6LI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TZGQMQGDGSC2AB3G5RZM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

maybe you can have a separate binder for non-pc inclusions? like a regular binder, so that you can get pages that will fit memory film and tickets.

i have a separate binder for the rest of my non-pc inclusions. i also use photo corners for things like photos!

this is the sheet size: 6 ring A4 4 inches (4 pocket)

I have a mini photobook, it can only fit one card per page, it has about 40 pages, I personally don't have a lot of photocards, I have about 11 official photocards and a few freebies that I had gotten, I just bought a cute small pocket photobook the design is like a cow pattern and it's just adorable, let me see if I can link it: Here I absolutely love it!! I'm not a collector but whenever I buy my ults albums, I just store the cards in there :) Just a week ago I purchased a Jisoo and Rose photocard, the rose one came today just waiting for the Jisoo one now as it was from two different sellers.

But yeah that's how I store mine, personally if you aren't collecting a lot I suggest go for a smaller photo binder as it just looks really nice to display and it's a nice little protection for your cards.

I am not 100% sure but i think these are the ultra pro silver series 9 pocket :) here is a link ultra pro silver series 9 pocket

For that particular binder you can use Japanese size sleeves or board game sleeves.

You can get whatever kind of binder you want! Just make sure the pages you buy or the pages included are PVC free! And, as added protection, also store in a penny sleeve. Another user posted some amazing info above. Try out finding a D-ring binder. If you plan on extending your collection, I would go for a binder you can add pages to. I have three, small, fixed page binders I quickly grew out of. So, save a little money there! PVC- free is the most important thing!

Mine is: bloom daily planners 3-Ring Fashion Binder (10" x 11.5”) - 1 Inch Ring - Daydream Believer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084BXB88V/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_VBHBSVVPM9X5FTF2KSS4?psc=1

Tbh I always try out stuff until I get like the feel I want! I had the same problem when I started colorcoding my albums. It looked really messy, so instead I started trying stuff and came out on semi color coding like this. Really recommend trying different like decorating "rules" (not sure how to discribe this haah) Till you get a feel you like and then go further on that! Like for example try laying out the albums differently like some standing up, some laying down etc.

because this is a promo album with that silver 비매 (not for sale) KOMCA sticker, chances that the signatures are fake is considerably less

then again, SM is notorious for letting managers signing CDs on behalf of the artists

however, since this is EXO's 1st full album, I'm hoping SM actually let the members sign it instead of their managers🤞

I would get a pack of penny sleeves (super cheap, get them at any game store or amazon!) and a small box! If you position the cards sitting up there shouldn’t be to much worry about them bending or folding. You can also get a small 25 pack of toploaders and use that (Still try and position them upwards instead of on top of each other, though)

Completely blank on this one if you buy from them themselves:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09NGSMPJG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Why I'm hoping past experience will be able to tell what they include in their own (not sold for others) listings.

I’ve had the same issue with my TXT cards and found that the 8-pocket pages that come in this coupon organizer set fit them perfectly! (I’m pretty sure you can buy just the 8-pocket pages separately, but I wanted to make sure I linked to the exact one I have lol) It is a snug fit so I’m not able to sleeve them first like I do with regular pcs, but it’s not a bad option.

Hi! I wasn’t able to find the exact plastic I bought, but I looked on amazon for 3 mil wrap and found one that’s very similar! The link is at the bottom but the key part for me is that the width of the plastic is folded in half because I use the crease for some of the wrapping styles.

As for the technique, I’m not sure if the comment will be enough so please let me know if you want a post on it, I’d be happy to post some short videos of the wrap styles and try and explain better!

For this one in particular, I placed the album, sign down on the plastic and wrapped over the top and bottom edges and taped the plastic together on the back where it can’t be seen. I also decided to wrap the unopened side, kind of how you would wrap the edges of a Christmas present. Then I cut the open edge really close to the album so that all sides except the open side are covered and protected but I can still get the photobook out.

I also have some other style albums that I wrap as well so I can still open them, but I don’t want to clutter the comment too much if you just meant for this particular one LOL

plastic wrap

They’re mirror stickers from Amazon, and then the corkboard are pieces i cut to match! I got a set of foam cd stickers from amazon as well and put them in the center of each mirror so they can hold cds!

end result

The stickers with 비매 mean that it is a promotional copy, and not for sale. Often they are exactly the same or very similar to retail copies (though a lot do not come with photocards), but are the ones sent as gifts to record execs and distribution companies as samples. The silver SM stickers are simply authenticity stickers from SM, and many companies put them on their official merch, though not all. If you want to know all about Komca stickers and promo albums, here is a blog I wrote for Amino that is all about it!

It's the album JP ver Special edition Blu Ray. Here's an amazon JP link to it

Sorry for format, on mobile.

I LOVE THE COLLECTION!!! And for your question on about adding lights. Here is a link to an Amazon on the same lights I use on my pc set up. They're super easy to use and fairly cheap.

I bought some frames so I can do this. I need to pick my first choices (which is hard). Then I use monkey hooks to hang.

I just bought plain black binders without the outer clear sleeves and decorated them with stickers from albums or Etsy. I love that I could customize them to my liking. And I am constantly adding to them!

And then I just bought some PVC free pages off Amazon.

These are the ones I’m currently using. I like that they are side load, so no falling out the top of my binders. And the black background is nice because I really hated looking at my pages and seeing the other pages behind it.

I've been a bit behind on wrapping my albums but I use various sized comic book sleeves like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Resealable-Current-Polypropylene-Inches-100-Count/dp/B002QGAF8S/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=comic+book+sleeves&qid=1628266328&sr=8-12

You can buy it on Amazon if you're in the US - it's currently on backorder but the page allows you to place an order and estimated arrival is around the end of the month (at least that's what it's showing me):

(I bought it from Amazon back in 2019 and it came sealed/brand new)

Hi! Are you looking for something like this? This is what I use for my PCs that are also in card sleeves and they fit perfectly! Idk what size BTS tour PCs are, but if they are the same as regular album PCs they should fit too!

i put some expo doll cases from ebay on a jewelry spinner i got from amazon ! ill put the links here :

I stumbled upon these while searching through amazon. Shipping can be expensive, but if you get these two shipping is $21 for both. Good luck!

Kinda late reply, but are the ultra-pro 9 from amazon? If yes, from my experience they aren't as great as the reviews make them out to be. I would return them and purchase the Herkka (link) trading cards instead

Amazon! It didn’t come in perfect condition, some of the photos in the photo book were bent, and part of the CD holder broke, but I still recommend! Amazon link:

It might not be available from that seller atm but I think you might be able to find it elsewhere on Amazon!

oh wow! is it really? I ordered from them and it was maybe around $20 for 5 items. but then again, I live in the same state as the company.

Edit: Try amazon. they have it for around $24 with $3.99 shipping :)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0785WHQX4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0KKKS8BNMZGQN795N7BE

hello! ah yes JinSouls was hard to find but i did find it on amazon which i don’t normally order from but i did get the album its this one if you are interested :D

I buy these and they fit GOT7's and SKZ's albums that are the photobook type so they should fit TWICE's too - but be warned that they're currently more than twice the price that they usually are.

i bought the Ultra Pro Card Sleeves recently after seeing a similar reddit post like this. in my opinion, they're really effective. only the front side of the card is clear and the back is a light white. The back of the card is still visible on certain cards w this set.

i use poster putty :) here’s the link to the one i use : 180 PCS 100 Grams Reusable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C5KLTP3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

it hasn’t ripped any of my posters but some people suggest putting washi tape on the back of the poster and then this on the washi tape to be extra careful :)

I would recommend Young Forever EPILOGUE... The hot air balloon design on the Day version remains one of my fav designs. And the songs are great in it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EKROZ54/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_kfz6FbYRXNR47

That should be suitable, but I would recommend upgrading those penny sleeves to durable card sleeves such as those made by Dragon Shield or Ultra Pro Deck Protector sleeves. Penny sleeves leave little to no protection aside from dust or very, very light water. You can be confident that your photocards are being stored safely with higher quality sleeves. I learned this the hard way :')

Hey I also have the GOT7 DYE mirror cards and I store them in 4 pocket sleeves. They're a lot bigger than the mirror cards, but I haven't found a better alternative.

https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Twenty-4-Pocket-pockets/dp/B005H7F0RY/ref=sr_1_2?crid=242GFJ0JOZ3V4&dchild=1&keywords=4+pocket+sleeves&qid=1602621793&sprefix=4+pocket+sle%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-2

You can press them in a large floating frame (or several small ones) and hang them on your wall or prop them on your shelves.

If you're not interested in displaying them, you can just put them in a small photograph box, either in top loaders/sleeves or just on their own.

Floating frame example.

Yes!! I keep all my album goodies inside the box like post cards and stickers as well! I have a tiny polaroid album ( like this ) where I keep all my photocards, but I still store the book in the box!

And yes! the MOTS7 albums were too big to keep upright so they met the fate of being put to the side :D

I love your display and how it's divided between the cabinet and the wall shelves. They're lovely!

I'm also trying to figure out how to display my photocards without damaging them. It's definitely more complicated than displaying albums haha.

I love those acrylic frames myDNAisyyxy suggested. I might get some of those. And I'm also thinking about arranging some of my PC's into floating frames like this one. Some can be mounted on the wall, or leaned against a surface, and I think there are even some with a prop-up bar in the back.

i got a shadow box on amazon and i keep it in there! it’s a little harder to open and look through the album itself but it’ll keep the dust out and protect it

most commonly, people will just buy a normal 3 or 4 ring binder (depends on where you live) and order 9 pocket sleeves. you also have a lot more customization options with it as you can put dividers and bigger/smaller pocket sleeves in them. A lot of people decorate them with stickers, photos, etc. to make them look cooler and more unique. But they do also make a more book like version and you can find them on amazon. They are more sturdy, but they have less customization options and once you run out of space, you will have to find a bigger one or get a second one. You also wont be able to fit things that wont fit in a 9 pocket in them. I would personally recommend just getting a binder from walmart or staples.

Your best bet is probably ebay or indeed amazon. They tend to be a bit more pricey now as the release date was a while ago. I'm not sure where you are located, but this Amazon listing seems reliable as I bought from their European equivalent before.

There are different sizes of plastic PVC-free binder sheets you can buy. The standard 3x3 are perfect for photocards and the 2 pocket and 3 pocket ones are great for basically everything else.
