I'm going to make a merch guide to each of the eras to help people collect but I figured i'd start with hyyh since it was one of my favorites ₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

The obvious (albums):

There's a light blue and light pink for pt 1 and dark blue with dark pink for pt2 which im sure we all know by now but there was also a limited Taiwan edition!

As of right now these are kind of hard to find; but without pc only cost ~$30. Outside of the photocard/postcard the only real difference of these is the inclusion of the lyrics in chinese plus more cds. These were released only for pt 1 in both the white/pink versions!

The photocards are going to COST YOU though, with a general range of $150-200

There also was 2 Japan kayo nekka versions that had a inclusion of a dvd too. On the dvd was just the run mv plus a photo gallery. PLEASE do not buy the listings of people selling the cd alone with no photocard for around 100, if you look harder on ebay theres many for closer to 40 or 50!!

these photocard prices are even worse than the last, normally being 200 to 400 from what ive seen. at least youll have a easier time finding listings for these (┬┬﹏┬┬)

DVDS:

The first dvd for hyyh was in 2015 and was released on 160223, this one only covers the Seoul concerts (which were the first 3). The first 2 dvds show the last day of the in Seoul concert, and the last one has 5 performances in Japan, VCR making film, prologue, rehearsals, practice making films and concert making films. The 2nd dvd also includes a VCR interview and talk about hyyh. All in all this is 346 minutes long :) If your lucky you can get this for $100 no pc but I would count on it being 200-370. The pc normally is around 100 too 😭

2016 live on stage epilogue dvd - This included of course film of the concert but also the poster and bridge shoot, md shooting film, concert practice and concert making film. you can find links to watch it for free with english subs here!

This dvd will cost around 170-200 and most (thankfully) have pc included. The pc alone will probablyyyy cost you around 60 even though ive seen ones way lower (you have to just look hard).

Theres also a blue ray version for around 95-160 (originally sold for $53.78) This one I THINK has the same stuff on it but its only in 2 dvds. I really cant tell if the postcards were a pre order benefit or not plus if it came as a set or random. Theres barely any listings for these but they only go for like $30 each (its like a breath of fresh air typing a price that low)

2016 BTS LIVE Kayo Nenka on stage epilogue Japan Edition Deluxe Edition DVD - this was released on January 18, 2017 so you should notttt be spending anywhere near as much (id guess 60-90?) This comes with 2 discs,the limited edition has a 132 page photobook and has bluray plus dvd but the regular just has the bluray no photobook. There is also a regular version with just dvd. These ones are the regular:

The regular is really hard to find nowadays but I think the general price range is 50-80??

Concert merch:

This hoodie only came in one size, Im not too sure the price of the zip up but the normal hoodie for the epilogue was $30.42 so we can assume it was about the same. nowadays expect to pay 200-600 for it LMAO

The shirt came in medium and large, i cant find any pricing info or current listings for this but i would assume it would be in the hundreds. The problem is theres so many unofficial shirts with this pattern being sold so it drowns out all the official listings. you MIGHT have luck getting this on some old instagram or tumblr account though!

one size beanie- current cost is around $200 but older accounts on twitter or tumblr sell for $45. yall im gonna be honest I cant find the post for the 2015 tour merch for the LIFE of me so im not going to know any original prices

bandana 600x600- GOOD LUCK BUYING THIS THING only place i can find listings is carousell which were all really cheap (~$15) but then again they are old listings.

I cannot find these damn socks ANYYYYWHERE on the face of the internet. your guess is as good as mine chat

pickets- very few listings of these out here but they are only like $70! (crazy if you remember people sell love yourself ones for 50 and 60) BUT you can 100% find listings for way lower (around 20 or 30) they are just rare

program book- these are only 40-60

this is going to be more like $200 for a set of just one members, its way easier to find the 2016 ones

photo set- there was multiple sets of these (not sure how many IM SORRY) ; one goes for about 100

✧ 🧺 jungkook icons! :: rare/old pics

2kool4skool

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)

ORUL82 signed pc

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.

MD diary

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 😔

1st muster

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.

Hip Hop Monster Dolls

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

Dark and wild Polaroids

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 🥲

Red bullet

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.

War of hormone pc

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!

BTS NOW was a series of travel photobooks/dvds with the first one released on April 24th 2014 and the most recent (3) released on April 5th 2016. Note: These prices are as of Feb 8th 2024
