dropping my kpop photocard collection | why i stopped collecting 

its sad dropping a collection when youve worked so hard on it but you definitely know when its the right time to stop even if its sad😔ahh yess hopefully one day you will be able to recollect!!🥰 i doubt i ever will collect again but i will probably buy some albums to support my faves at some point bc thats what i find most exciting!! 😊

i think a lot of people when they start collecting dont fully realise just how much time and money often goes into it so taking a step back and suddenly realising how much youve spent is a bit of a shock!! i loved collecting nct it honestly might've been my favourite collection but yeah they can be very expensive and a lot of cards are so hard to find, plus with the amount of comebacks they have among all the units and stuff it can be so hard to keep up!! unfortunately the 'i must catch up quickly' mindset is very hard to shake even when you tell yourself you dont have to :( whatever you decide, i hope you manage to figure out what you want to do with your collection and find a way to enjoy it again :) xx

@@kissofyejis True! You always think ‘it’s just a 7€ pc’ but suddenly you buy 10 pcs and it’s not so fun anymore 🥲 I agree, collecting nct is really a pain due to the comebacks and the general overpricing that happens, for example selling pcs of the latest comeback for 10-12€ is just really expensive imo but I see it happening a lot :// Yeah, I think fomo is real in the trading community and not easy to overcome :( thank you for your kind words!!

ahh thank you!

Bc personally, I even lacked motivation to go out to sell them, like I would but then I lacked motivation to package and send. Which made me even more anxious. How did you deal with anxiety when selling a massive amount of items? Because I am getting very overwhelmed trying to

i think it really depends on how you feel like if there’s ones you’re not sure you want to sell then start by selling the ones you know you won’t want anymore! then as more time goes by you’ll probably know better which ones (if any!) you want to keep! in terms of selling them, i get very anxious sometimes too so i usually just prioritise and put them ufs in small batches instead of putting lots up at once bc that means there will be less dms to reply to and less to package, and if i become extra anxious i just archive the posts until im feeling better! honestly its been so long since i stopped collecting but recently ive been buying a few albums and keeping my pulls and also keeping some of my favourite pcs from fan call entries - ill never go back to fully collecting or having a wish list or buying/trading on insta with other sellers, but keeping some of the ones i just happen to pull is fun! hope this helps :)

Which groups do you stan now? :)

Same! I found I just don’t enjoy them like I used to, and when I found Enhypen (I’m a pre-debut Engene), I just knew that they were the one group for me. So I rly stopped keeping up with BTS and now only collect Enha + a little bit of TXT. But like you, I have no idea what to do with my old collection. I could sell or trade but I’m not sure??

her pfp is jaehyun so i think nct^^ i love meeting new nctzen

@@SophieTYL hii, yes I currently stan NCT, I collect a lot of their photocards but besides NCT, I stan TXT and Straykids and some girl groups ^^

@@s3da779 I mainly stan NCT now, but I'm actually a multi stan. For now, I think my top few groups are Straykids, TXT and NCT.

i havent got one planned atm but maybe at some point i will :)
