2.1 Tips for Identifying Unofficial Photocards
If you want to avoid buying unofficial or self-printed K-pop photocards on platform, follow these steps:
a) Carefully check the product details. Avoid purchasing items with the following keywords, as they often indicate fake photocards:
- 非公式 (unofficial)
- kpopショップ品 (K-pop shop items)
- 韓流ショップ品 (purchased from Korean Wave shop)
- 海外ショップ品 (purchased from overseas shops)
b) Examine the seller’s ratings and product listings:
- Look for signs of severe color differences (though note that some sellers may use filters).
- Compare the photocard’s proportions with official cards to see if there are issues such as blown-up images, misalignment, or oddly cropped shapes.
- Be cautious if the seller has many cards listed at great prices but none of them are marked as sold—this can be a red flag.
By following these steps, you can reduce the risk of purchasing counterfeit photocards.
