Actor Song Jin-woo revealed his sports card collection, which he has been gathering for 30 years.

On the 14th, the SBS variety program "Same Bed Different Dreams2 - You Are My Destiny" (hereinafter "Same Bed Different Dreams2") featured Japanese-Korean couple Song Jin-woo and Minami.

The home revealed that day was filled with Song Jin-woo's various collectibles, including figurines, ties, and cigarettes, occupying two rooms.

Minami candidly expressed her feelings: "As a Japanese person, I am familiar with the culture of collecting items. While I understand my husband's passion, I have concerns about our home becoming messy due to these items, especially since we have children."

Song Jin-woo shared his affection, saying, "My hobbies are woven throughout the house. When we eventually move into a large mansion, I want to dedicate about 100 pyeong (approximately 330 square meters) of the basement as my personal collection museum. It would look beautiful if displayed by country. These items are like children to me."

He also revealed his basketball sports card collection, which he has been gathering since elementary school. He explained, "Originally, one might think of sports cards as just paper with photos, but some cards hold values ranging from billions to hundreds of billions of won."

Notably, he stated, "I believe I have around 3,000 to 4,000 Jason Williams cards. Including other cards, the total could reach tens of thousands. I have collected only one-of-a-kind cards in my gold box," leaving viewers in awe.

He added, "Due to financial constraints, I even bought some cards on a six-month installment plan for 50,000 won each. Card prices from the 1990s have skyrocketed; this particular card is now worth approximately 10 million won per piece."

Song Jin-woo shared his unique collecting philosophy: "I once met a representative of a grading company and a famous collector, yet I possessed cards with higher grades than theirs. I will never sell these cards in my lifetime. My goal is to collect every Jason Williams card."

According to market research, the three cards he owns are valued at 70 million won. Minami suggested selling the cards to move, but Song Jin-woo firmly replied, "These are for our family. I will never sell them while I am alive."
