"Small card" refers to the card printed with the artist ** given by the Korean entertainment company**, which is originally given to fans for collection and use, and is rarely circulated in the market. In recent years, as a market economy, "small card" has been widely circulated in second-hand trading platforms, and has formed a unique "small card economy", and has also given birth to a series of related industrial chains - such as fried cards, small cards and so on. For a period of time, the "small card economy" swept the entire fan circle. After the heat, small card transactions are chaotic, and the profiteering business is gradually cold.
There is a consensus in the card circle, that is, the ** of a small card depends on its value in the hearts of the fans who buy it, but the card speculator cannot predict the psychological price of the buyer, therefore, to judge whether a small card is worth frying, the card speculator group has a set of "universal" standards. There are three main dimensions to this set of criteria – scarcity, beauty, and popularity of entertainers. Normally, if a small card has all three of the above characteristics, it will be regarded as an expensive card with hype value. Therefore, many people will buy the ** of popular idols in order to dismantle a small card with a large appreciation space. Realize the profit by reselling.
In addition, it has also derived an industrial chain around "card splitting", "small card" and "card sleeve". In the past two years, the number of merchants with small card-related products on domestic shopping platforms has gradually increased. On the shopping platform, there are more and more merchants with card holders, card albums, Gu card stickers and other small card-related products as the main business objects, and many merchants who originally mainly engaged in stationery, office supplies, and toys have also sold card sleeves and card albums.
However, behind the prosperity, the chaotic behavior of the card circle occurs from time to time. Many buyers have been deceived in online transactions, and it is difficult to protect their basic rights. And the price of the card fluctuates, which makes the owner's mood fluctuate and it is difficult to pick up the initial interest. All kinds of circumstances have made the card circle fever recede, and the number of fans of Korean groups in China buying ** has declined.
