PCDFix Methodology

PCDFix documents signed K-pop collectibles using an evidence-based, collector-focused approach.

Our methodology separates two different questions: the physical condition of the collectible, and the evidence surrounding its signatures, provenance and promotional context.

Explore the guides below to see how PCDFix approaches each area.
