In accordance with the collector, the 899 photocards are made up of the next, and so they said that it was deceptive to incorporate the 312 photocards within the Carat model as a part of the 899 photocards.
- 418 common album photocards and pre-order advantages (32 per member and a pair of photocards with all of the members).
- Carat model idea photocard bundle inclusion (312 photocards, 24 per member)
- 169 followers signal and Japanese pre-order advantages (13 per member).
The collector then argued why it was deceptive to depend the carat idea card bundles as particular person photocards. In accordance with the collector every album consists of 24 photocards.
- 1 pack contained 24 of 1 member, and the playing cards aren’t random, so if a fan, who collects a person member’s photocards, buys an album, and pulls playing cards for the member, they’d obtain all 24 playing cards out there for that particular member. Likewise, if the fan traded for an album containing footage of the member, they’d primarily have all of the carat variations of the member and wouldn’t want to purchase any additional albums. The collector likened the playing cards to 1 member poster included within the album moderately than 24 particular person playing cards.
The collector then breaks down the variations of the albums. Quite than 13 variations of the album as beforehand thought, the collector said that there have been 6 variations and argued that member-specific albums have been frequent, and thus it’s unfair to state that there have been 13 variations of FML as a result of SEVENTEEN had 13 members.
- 3 common album variations (2 photocards per member per model), 1 equipment model (1 random photocard per member per model), 1 weverse model (1 random set of three per member), 1 carat model (4 random photocards per member).
The collector then additional breaks down the Weverse variations. In accordance with the collector, the Weverse collections present full member units of photocards moderately than particular person ones. The collector additionally claims that many teams just lately had an analogous quantity of pre-order advantages as SEVENTEEN’s FML.
The collector goes on to say that it’s “dishonest” to match the full quantity of photocards with out considering the variety of playing cards per member. As SEVENTEEN has 13 members, it’s inevitable that the group’s albums could have extra photocards, and the collector argues that collectors will often purchase one album containing their bias and never randomly purchase a number of variations. The collector additional claims that the majority collectors deal with album photocards moderately than playing cards included in pre-order advantages.
@kidultcomplex lastly said that the template beforehand handed round was misleading as a result of it displayed the carat model photocards as separate particular person ones when they’re, in-fact, bundled as units.
lastly, carats cease making templates just like the one being handed round. you recognize rattling effectively its misleading, misinformative and used in opposition to us to incorporate these carat model pcs as separate particular person pcs and no collector of their proper thoughts would truly use a template like that.
