Trivia
Among these, cards that are worth the most are cards that are bundled with official iDOLM@STER franchise, and these are only for first-prints/limited editions. Repeated prints of the franchises will not include such cards. The cheapest card out of all of these is the S07-107 “遠い音楽”千早 card, which is readily available and the only card out of all promotional cards in iDOLM@STER that never goes out of print. Some WS cards from the official franchise easily fetch around 20 - 30 USD each. If you have such cards in countries that do not have large communities(Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the United States), interested collectors might bid as high as 60 - 70 USD for some of them.
