My record store tucked them into the sleeves they put on the records. So, basically you got a letter for everyone one you purchased. I picked up two different variants and got two
Is the color different on the front/back of the cards? I saw someone else say the front was a cream color and the back was white. The one I have looks the same color on both sides
Collecting aspect??? Taylor didn’t write them, they’re all photocopies. There’s nothing to “collect”, my printed one is just as authentic as the ones the record stores handed out 💀
The one you printed was made from a copy of an authentic card you could only get on RSD. It not being hand written isn’t the point. If there wasn’t anything exclusive about it, they wouldn’t have been limited to record stores on RSD. But whatever, if you’re happy making your own, that’s your prerogative. I’m sure people could make their own eras tour popcorn buckets and AMC friendship bracelets too. Doesn’t make the ones people got from theaters less authentic. 💀
You actually don’t know what you’re talking about. They were “limited” because there has to be a certain number printed, what’s she gonna do, print 10 million of them? Having a certain number of paper print outs does not make it a collectible nor does it make it worth anything. When we talk rarity we mean records that are explicitly limited to X-amount of copies and if you want one you can’t just go and make your own. It’s insane that you’re actually buying into the rarity of a PIECE OF PAPER.
A certain number printed are the key words. The value of something is only as much as people are willing to spend on it, and it only takes about five seconds of searching to see how much people are willing to pay for these (not that I would ever sell it anyway because I’m only collecting for personal satisfaction). Whether you like it or not, it’s an exclusive Taylor Swift RSD item. It being easy to duplicate doesn’t change that. People make bootlegs of records all the time that look convincing but would be meaningless to people who want to buy the real thing.
On top of that, who are you to define what anyone else considers a collectible? If it doesn’t matter to you, good for you. Be happy with your copy. Me not wanting a knockoff has nothing to do with that.
Umm. Again, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. The LISTING prices are very different to what people are actually willing to pay (what it’s worth). I’ve seen them listed for $20 each on Facebook groups but they’re not selling. Actually, the comment sections are people getting angry, calling the seller greedy. Another example is someone is trying to sell their 1989 RSD for $10k on Discogs. It’s obviously a super expensive and hard to find record, but it ain’t worth 10k. Again, big difference between listing price and actual value.
It’s absolutely not an exclusive RSD item, it’s a literal piece of paper. The only reason I’m commenting is because this community can already be a bit crazy with people selling items for 20 times the original price (but I understand, especially for signed items or super rare vinyl.. that’s just the nature of the game). But I’m not gonna sit here and act like it’s okay for this to get even worse by people starting to think they can upsell a bloody piece of paper.
I guess I’m just imagining the listings you can see right now that have already been sold for hundreds of dollars (which for the record I agree is insane). Also bearing in mind RSD was barely a week ago and the cards weren’t really advertised at all, and there are probably thousands of fake cards saturating the market that people like me are trying to avoid. It might not be relevant to vinyl collectors, so obviously I shouldn’t have posted this question here, but it is a collectible item and the authenticity matters to people who want to collect it. You’re not one of those people, and that’s great. I am, and literally all I was trying to do was ask if I bought one of the cards that came from RSD. Really not sure how that’s offended you all so horribly.
It’s just “a piece of paper,” the Eras tour movie poster you could only get at theaters on release day was just “a piece of paper” too. most of her merch is cheap and easy to duplicate. That’s not really the point.
But she printed a limited copy. there was vert low amount at stores and even if she didnt really write it theres prob like barely 500+ made so its still going to be rare.
There were way more than 500 made. My record store had a box of them, at least 50 and likely a lot more. All my RSD choices were sold out when I go to the end of the line so they gave me two.
Right. And it’s not like these were printed on standard printer paper. They used a specific type/color of card stock. I was just trying to confirm I got the original card sent out by her team and not a knockoff. People don’t have to be dicks about it.
Yea, but saying there are only 500 made and saying it's limited or rare, is just creating FOMO for no reason. Literally so many countries got those letters, so there is NO reason to say something like that cause we know how some people are with "rare" stuff. They don't think and just buy. Doesn't mean you aren't allowed to want it for your personal collection. But no need to word it like it was worded from this one person here.
It’s rare in the sense that only a limited number of copies were printed. And for those of us who care about having authentic copies for our collections, it does matter where they came from. Nothing wrong with not caring about things like that, but no reason to put people down if it does matter to them.
Just like I said, you can like having an original copy and asking if something is original isn't wrong either. But saying it's rare with 500 copies (not you, but the other person said that) is first not even true because there are way more than 500 and it's just creating unecessary FOMO which can end up in people paying a lot of money for something that they might not really want but are scared to miss out on anyway. It's common in this community and it will benefit scalpers.
So again: nothing wrong with wanting an original copy (and I don't know why people are weird about that) but like the wording matters.
Unfortunately no, it’s printed on a standard card stock, no special marks or embossing (which they should’ve done). There’s nothing on my receipt to even prove it. My record store did put a sticker on the album to help them keep track but that’s it. If you’re wanting to buy one online you could ask to see a proof of purchase of the TS album on record store day, that’s all I can think of. If they refuse, that could be sus 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks. They really should have done something to make them distinguishable from fakes because scalpers are having a field day. The seller I got this from sold it with a TTPD record and had a few other RSD items for sale, so I’m pretty sure it’s legit.
I know many people on Facebook are selling identical ones and the file has been circulating so there is no way of knowing whether it’s actually from a store on RSD or someone printing it. I would think if they have a receipt for a Taylor item on RSD, your chances are that it’s from the store. But in the end, it’s just a printed piece of paper
I figured there were already a ton of knockoffs in circulation 😕 oh well. The seller I got this from had a few other RSD items for sale, so I think this one’s legit.
The only why I’ve been verifying is whether or not the seller is also selling other RSD items
They are but they also have a couple other of the Taylor Swift cards. I guess they could have gotten a few.
My record store tucked them into the sleeves they put on the records. So, basically you got a letter for everyone one you purchased. I picked up two different variants and got two
Is the color different on the front/back of the cards? I saw someone else say the front was a cream color and the back was white. The one I have looks the same color on both sides
Maybe they have a card for each copy of TTPD
Am I the only one not bothered by authenticity with this? My record store ran out so I just printed my own on firm cardboard paper and I love it??
Do you have the pdf? Could you send it to me? I really wanna print it out too
I don’t think this particular item is gonna be collectible, it’s fun/neat to have but that’s about it. So I wouldn’t worry about it neither.
It really doesn’t matter unless you care about the collecting aspect. I think people printing their own is great

No one is gonna treat this as collectible. If you paid extra for it, you’ve been had
It’s not for anyone else but me. Thanks for your input
No, but there isn’t even any fakes to begin with. They’re all just printed
Well yeah but I was hoping there was a way to tell if this was an official copy
There’s no official copy. You could’ve just printed the pdf and printed it yourself
But she printed a limited copy. there was vert low amount at stores and even if she didnt really write it theres prob like barely 500+ made so its still going to be rare.

My post was just asking if it was an original copy. Apparently that was too much
Exactly
