Most price references we use (eBay solds, Mercari) are Western resale prices — but cards originate and price-discover in Korea first. I pulled current listings from Pocamarket (포카마켓, Korea's dedicated photocard marketplace, ~477k cards listed) and computed the median asking price per member from the newest listings. Prices converted from KRW at roughly current rates. Sharing in case it helps you price sales/trades:
| Group | Member | Listings | Median ask | Range | Wishlist/card |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TXT | Yeonjun | 11 | $5.60 | $2.50 – $17.50 | 1,561 |
| NCT | Mark | 8 | $4.55 | $2.50 – $17.50 | 402 |
| IVE | Leeseo | 15 | $4.90 | $2.50 – $21.00 | 796 |
| BOYNEXTDOOR | Taesan | 11 | $3.50 | $2.50 – $66.50 | 1,358 |
| NCT | Doyoung | 9 | $3.50 | $2.50 – $9.80 | 1,004 |
| &TEAM | EJ | 9 | $3.50 | $2.50 – $45.50 | 348 |
| NCT | Yushi | 24 | $3.00 | $2.50 – $9.80 | 1,442 |
| RIIZE | Anton | 10 | $2.50 | $2.50 – $28.00 | 290 |
| RIIZE | Wonbin | 10 | $2.50 | $2.50 – $17.50 | 686 |
| RESCENE | Zena | 9 | $8.40 | $3.50 – $17.50 | 4 |
A few things that jumped out:
- Demand and price are inverted on the biggest names. NCT Yushi and Doyoung, TXT Yeonjun, BOYNEXTDOOR Taesan all carry huge wishlist counts (1,000–1,560+ per card) but median asks sit at $3–5. That looks like liquidity — lots of supply meeting lots of demand — not weak demand. The cheap median is the floor, not the ceiling.
- The range is where the money is. Taesan's median is $3.50 but the top listing is $66.50, and &TEAM EJ runs $2.50 up to $45.50. Medians tell you the common card; the max tells you a chase/grail is in the pool.
- Rookie-group economics are flipped. RESCENE Zena has the highest median ($8.40) but almost no wishlist activity (4/card) — thin market, sellers asking high because there's little to compare against. Higher risk if you're buying to flip.
- These are asking prices from the newest listings, small samples (8–24 each), so treat them as a reference floor, not sold comps.
If people find this useful I can post an updated table weekly, or break one group down by member/era/card type. Which group should I do next?
