Vinyls

Babe?

Yes love?

Do u want… BTS vinyls?

Not really…

Oh okay. Nevermind 😅

Unless you wanna buy them as an investment?

Investment?

Can you get your industry friends to get signed ones? Then we keep it in a vault as an investment?

Oh? Investment?! I never thought about that 😅😅😅

Assuming they’ll still be popular in 20 years and a signed unopened vinyl is gonna go up in value…

Ahahhahahahaa……. should I sign some of my own vinyls as investments?!?!?!?!

Lol I dunno babe 🥰😘❤️

Should we ask AI?

Hahahhahahaha… okay hang on…

Short answer: A signed, unopened BTS Arirang album is unlikely to become a high‑value collectible—but under the right conditions, it could reach a few hundred dollars, not thousands.
This is based on how K‑pop signed albums historically appreciate, how BTS memorabilia behaves long‑term, and how scarcity + member signatures affect value. 

Let’s break it down realistically and without hype.



🌟 What determines long‑term value?
K‑pop collectibles don’t behave like Western vinyl or rare rock memorabilia. Their value depends on five factors:

1. Who signed it
– Full group signatures appreciate the most. 
– Individual member signatures vary wildly depending on popularity and rarity.

2. Authenticity
– Items from official fansigns, Weverse, or HYBE‑verified events hold value. 
– Anything without provenance loses 70–90% of potential resale value.

3. Supply
– BTS albums are printed in huge quantities. 
– Even “limited” versions often have tens of thousands of units.

4. Condition
– Unopened + mint is essential. 
– Any damage to corners, shrink wrap, or photobook reduces value.

5. BTS’s long‑term cultural status
– BTS is already historic. 
– Their legacy will likely increase demand for early and mid‑career items.



📈 So what does that mean for Arirang in 20 years?

Realistic 20‑year value range
Based on:
– current signed album resale patterns 
– BTS’s long‑term cultural trajectory 
– historical data from 1st/2nd gen K‑pop groups 
– Western band memorabilia appreciation curves 

If it’s a full group signed, unopened album:
AUD $300–$900 
– This is the most realistic range. 
– Only extremely rare, early‑era BTS items exceed $1,000.

If it’s signed by one member:
AUD $120–$350 
– Depends heavily on the member. 
– Maknae line tends to appreciate more.

If it’s a mass‑signed fansign album (the most common type):
AUD $150–$500 
– Fansign albums rarely exceed this even after 10–15 years.

If it’s a verified limited edition signed release (rare):
AUD $600–$1,500 
– This is the only scenario where four‑figure value is plausible.



🧊 Why it won’t hit $5k–$10k like Western collectibles
K‑pop albums:
– are mass‑produced 
– rarely have ultra‑limited runs 
– don’t have the same scarcity model as vinyl or rock memorabilia 
– rely on photocard culture, not album rarity 

Even 2013 BTS signed albums rarely exceed AUD $1,500, and those are historic.



🔮 My honest prediction for Arirang
Assuming:
– it’s official 
– it’s authenticated 
– it stays sealed 
– BTS remains culturally dominant (very likely)

Your most realistic 20‑year resale value is:
➡️ AUD $300–$900

If you want, I can also:
– compare it to the long‑term value of Dark & Wild or Skool Luv Affair signed albums 
– estimate value per member 
– tell you how to store it so it actually appreciates instead of degrading over time

Lollll… do u still want it?

If it resales for $900 that’s still money babe.

We don’t know if there’ll be an apocalypse in 20 years. We don’t know if it’ll be world war 4 or 5 started by maniac politicians?!

GET THE SIGNED VINYLS. Whatever you can for me babe!

Ahhh… ok ok I’ll ask my industry friends to get it for you… 😅😘❤️

Thanks darling 🥰💕
