PC Confessions thread

pixxel
This morning I had an opportunity to buy a vary rare ($100+) photocard for $20, and I missed out on it because I tried to only offer $15 (the shipping was also $5). I've been mentally kicking myself about it all day, and promising myself I will not make such a mistake again-- ESPECIALLY because I was ONLY trying to save $5!!! 🤦‍♀️🔫😭 Do you have a photocard confession that's been eating away at you? Post here to be absolved of your sins by the collective embarasment of the BR community. Let us suffer, together 🤲

I kept my wjsn collection (20+ pcs) in pocket pages that i knew had pvc and left them there for 3 yrs. It was only supposed to be temporary but i never moved them. I finally re-sleeved them in pvc free pages and THEYRE OK! I promise ill never risk it again 🤞

Girl I dropped my phone in a STREAM- literally into water… I got it out just in time for the seungmin pc in the back to be still dry (my phone was fine also), I have used limos cards in my phone case ever since

For REAL! I only have lomos out in the world after a photocard holder keychain ruined the edges of my favorite KPDH card 💔

Oh nooooo Like as much as I hate lomo cards at least they make cheap replacements hahahahha

I only hate lomos when they're trying to be passed off as real. They're great as proxies, and I like to make my own when there's an event or promo I like the concept for, but there's no merch of. All those photoshop classes came in handy at some point, lol

100% agree -the best ones are always the homemade ones, like I have some that are absolutely horrendous pictures hahaha-

Like I just bout a pack of Lemonade (WDA) lomos cause I loved the Postcard images from the album, but they didn't come as PC's and the printer must have been low on ink when they printed these cause the saturation is TERRIBLE! Wishing I'd put in the effort to make them myself, now 😅

NO SAME. My phone fell in the shower with my fav card of all time (SeungSung ate) and it got wet, its still alright but it makes me so sad ive been looking for a replacement. Never again

I spent a lot on 20 pcs from an account that had enough proofs to seem trustworthy to me. They arrived today and the back of two of them are badly cropped so now I'm so scared that they're all fake and that I was completely scammed as the seller hasn't replied to me yet 😭 any advice would be amazing!!

Oh no! We pray it is only the 2! If this person is on BR, you should reach out to them to be compensated the value of the lomos. I hope it was an honest mistake on the sellers part. Best of luck, and YOU ARE FORGIVEN! (But scammers NEVER are)

Sadly it was on insta but since it's late right now I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now 😭 I'm just going on the hope that the rest are real so I don't cry 😭

Oh noooo I bought 2 pcs once and the size was slightly different to all my others so I was panicking inside cuz they were good value too so it could’ve been a scam 😭 but I’ve got more pcs from that set from other sellers and it’s like all just slightly bigger than their normal pcs😭 maybe if you find another seller to buy the same pc from, if they’re both identical feel and look you can just resell one

The first photo card I ever came into possession of was one of those blackpink Oreo PC's and I didn't know what it was so I THREW IT IN THE BIN and have never emotionally recovered 😭😞

Lol, this is a judgement free zone, and we always make mistakes, but still- OOF! You are STILL forgiven 💜

I have kind of done the opposite... I have way overpaid on multiple pc's because i had been looking for them for months (some more than a year)... like i dont want to encourage the overpricing & memberpricing problem, but i work fulltime and im too late with claims in GO's so often 🫠
