Rare (old) bts merch guide
Bighit (I refuse to call it HYBE) put 200 Polaroids randomly into the first press versions of 2kool4skool, most of them that I've seen have been group or duo pics but there are some solo ones just they are rarer. These Polaroids are all extremely rare though (especially as they get older 🥲) and honestly I rarely see any being sold. Most of the posts I've seen of them have been older so you might have some luck digging deep into old hashtags. I have no clue how much these would go for since I never see listings but in 2015 they were 200ish (if your selling them please for the love of god message me)
Once again, i rarely ever see these go for sale although I did find some listings from a few years ago on carousell (all were sold though). They never released the number of these as far as I know but they were only in the first press albums. From what I've heard finding a group pc signed is very hard but since there isn't much information or listings for it, its hard for me to say. And once again no idea on the pricing although I'd assume you'd have a hard time finding it cheaper than a few hundred.
the fan club merch included a towel, bandana, and diary (the MD diary which also served as a seasons greetings) which were originally sold at the prices of:
2014 Diary -24,000 KRW (18.37 USD)
Official slogan -18,000 KRW (13.78 USD)
Bandana -15,000 KRW (11.48 USD)
Plus a gift for those who bought all 3 ( the gift was 7 member pictures and 2 group photos). The diary included 3 full group postcards and 3 random photo cards (out of 7 total) with only 600 ever being sold. This one i do actually see get listed frequently Normally the postcards are $900ish each, diary is around $900-1500 but sometimes i see them for about 150 although normally damaged (they tend to be cheaper off tumblr), no clue on the towel or bandana 😔
Muster was the 1st fan meet and took place in early 2014. At the fan meet the bts in Thailand (aka now 1 in Thailand) came with two limited photo cards out of 7 total. You can still buy these now decently easy off ebay. The cheapest I've seen was about 100 and the most expensive was 500 but that one was sealed still. The pcs from it are usually 150 but some rarer ones like this can go for as much as 600
The postcards can go from 200-900 sold separately and pretty much no one sells them in the set anymore. Although the wrappens are very rare DO NOT PAY 900 FOR THEM!! If you dig hard enough you can find them for around 120. The bandana is probably going to cost you about 200. There was a few other things sold at the muster but they're so impossible to find its pointless to put them in here, if your interest though feel free to message me.
Only 95 of these per member were ever actually sold (some of which were signed) Jimin sold out the fastest and because of that has sort of become the rarest. I'm talking about the original ones right now (we will get to the others later) but first I think its important to point out the difference. The first ones came with a small badge of a members face and came inside of a black cardboard box
meanwhile the second came in a transparent box with no badge. Another difference is the second ones say hip hop on the front rather than bts
I'm honestly not sure how many of the 2nd were released but I'm assuming it was more since they go for much cheaper and a lot more are available. Anyways, the first ones are harder to find and are 500-1100 compared to the second ones costing as low as 60 or 100
i need the taehyung ones 🥹777 Polaroids were spread across first print albums and signed (a few aren't but thats a very small amount) Majority are solo, some are duo, very few are trio, and even fewer are full group (by even fewer I mean 2). Once again these are sadly nearly impossible to come across and if you do expect to pay about $1000 or more 🥲
Although I do see a lot of red bullet merch on here I feel like these two things are rare enough to be brought up. The postcard set goes from 180-500 (member pricing will be the death of me) and the poster set is 500. With the postcard set there was a total of 8 photos per member with 4 group photos making the total 60 photos. The group ones are more rare because they were only included in the sets in Japan.
IDK WHY NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THESE THEY ARE SO CUTE 😩At the end of Hormone War Promotions, an Inkigayo fan meet was held and you would get 1 random pc but a few were signed and if you got the signed one you got all 8 pcs! If you want one of these your going to have to sell a arm and leg, they go normally for 1k. I did actually see a Jimin one for 600 but I would not expect them to be around that
No More Dream Pony Canyon Music Card
i feel like no one ever talks about this but every time BTS released a single in Japan, theyd hold a release event the first weekend after the single is released in Osaka and Tokyo. People who pulled winning lottery tickets from their cds got to attend the release event. These normally included a Hi-Touch opportunity and a small performance. At these events, they sold music cards for their release. they always released 3 group versions of these cards some of which were signed. These tend to sell at around 70
Boy In Luv Pony Canyon Music Card
i haven't seen anything go up for these lately but last time I did it was 200 something. If your looking for the solo member ones though I see them a lot on ebay for about 45
Danger Pony Canyon Music Card
i don't really see the group ones for these either, but the member ones are typically about 80. If your interested in these types of pcs ill be making a separate post on them later!
while making this I realized it would make a LOT more sense to make this into smaller categories on different posts so ill be continuing this later! However if you have any questions in the meantime or need help trying to find were to buy things lmk (i check my messages very often 🫶)
