Pickit is a digital collectibles marketplace platform focusing on K-pop Idol Photo Cards/goods.
Pickit is a digital collectibles marketplace platform initially focusing on digital K-pop Idol Photo Cards. As media content lovers, our team is all collectors of figures and anything of our interest. We believe that this is not only us. Every human is a collector and we all collect things from t-shirts, coins, movie tickets, to animation figures, posters, DVDs, and many more. Pickit plans to bring this experience digitally, and become the most fun digital collecting space for everyone to satisfy their passion as collectors. We are officially partnering with CJ ENM, WOOLLIM Ent., YUEHUA Ent., JELLYFISH Ent., and SWING Ent., and talking with other entertainments who will be joining us soon. Pickit service is simple: the most fun way to collect, trade, and show-off your collection digitally to worldwide collectors of similar interests. We get contents from idols, re-create them into digital cards, and release them exclusively, and only, at Pickit. Then, users will collect their favorite idols’ digital card pack and display them at Pickit; and they will also get ranked based on the number of digital cards they hold. Indeed, Pickit will create the best paid digital collectibles marketplace where millions of digital goods/collectibles become the assets in our era.
Everyone collects things from t-shirts, movie tickets, animation figures, to coins and many more. The global collectibles market is 350 billion dollars in size and of those, the physical trading card market size marks 13 billion dollar. And the most successful physical trading cards companies like Japan’s Pokemon or America’s sport cards have rapidly been moving towards the digital collectibles market that marks 2 billion dollars in size with 20% annual growth rate. This growth and change will only increase especially after the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 situation, encouraging the whole world to change our physical-oriented lifestyles.
Our competitors are fragmented by sector like entertainment, technology, and digital collectibles. For instance, the America’s most successful physical trading card company Topps has been servicing digital collectibles using IP of Marvel, Disney, and others. However, our current major competitors will be any companies trying to do K-pop related business. From the COVID-19 outbreak along with the great K-wave that BTS has been creating, many firms are trying to bring in K-pop contents to the digital world. Although we are the first ones to create digital collectibles, there are companies trying to build a K-pop online channel, platform, games, and many other applications. And the winner of this competition will depend on how quickly we can get the trust and attention from the international fans.
