In this YouTube commentary, the speaker explains that ARTMS's Hyper Ego release, while presented as a single album, actually comprises several distinct collectible markets. The Aura and Trauma series each contain one visual card and one double‑class object drawn randomly from a four‑card pool. The separate Object Music album provides a double‑class object from a larger 16‑card pool. Physical objects function within a digital ecosystem and therefore should not be priced like ordinary photocards. Additionally, four retailers—Apple Music, MakeStar, Everline, and NY Music—offered their own random eight‑card POB (Physical Object Bundle) pools. The speaker advises collectors (KCC) to catalog visual cards, retailer POBs, and objects separately before comparing market prices, and ends with a call to support the channel.

ARTMS's Hyper Ego looks like one album, but collectors are actually entering several separate collectible markets. Aura and Trauma each include one visual card and one double-class object, both random from 4. The separate Object Music album draws one double-class object from a much larger 16-card pool. Objects are physical collectibles with digital ecosystem functions, so they should not be priced like ordinary photocards. Apple Music, MakeStar, Everline, and NY Music each offered a separate random 8-card POB pool. KCC should catalog visual cards, retailer POBs, and objects separately before comparing market prices.
