Hi, Pocamarket Global Users!
We’ve already shared some information about photocard types and related terms, right?
Then, do you know how to get your favorite photocards?
Basically, there are two main ways to get photocard — pull new ones yourself or trade secondhand photocards.
Based on these two methods, we’ll give you some detailed information on how to get your photocards
Pull New Ones Yourself
By Purchasing Albums
K-pop idols’ newly released albums usually come with a random photocard inside — often a cute selfie one!
With so many versions these days, you’ll need a bit of luck to collect all your bias’s photocards.
Still, there are some fun advantages!
You can feel your heart flutter as you wonder which photocard you’ll get and experience the thrill of holding a new one in your hands!
By Joining a Lucky Draw Event
As we mentioned in our last post, the Lucky Draw event is usually held in line with a K-pop idol’s album release.

For those who purchase albums over a certain amount, a Lucky Draw ticket for a random photocard will be given!
You can get exclusive or limited-edition photocards that aren’t available anywhere else!
By Purchasing Other Goods or Participating in Fan Events
There are some cases where you can get photocards when you purchase other goods or items.
These kinds of photocards are especially limited and highly valued.
It’s like killing two birds with one stone! You can get both the goods you love and a special photocard at the same time!
Some K-pop idols give out special photocards to fans who attend fan events such as concerts or broadcast music shows.
They’re super rare since only a few lucky fans can join, which makes them premium collectibles among fans.
Since it’s so hard to get a spot, these photocards are considered extremely rare items among collectors.
Trade Secondhand Photocards
Trade or Hand Over in Person
On an album’s release day, many fans visit offline album stores to get physical albums right on the spot.
After purchasing, they often trade or hand over photocards immediately at the venue to get their bias’s photocard.
Because so many fans gather for the same purpose, it’s easy to find trading partners, and you can check each photocard’s condition in person.
These events are also held at concert halls or fan event sites.
Plus, there’s another big advantage! You don’t have to worry about shipping fees.
SNS trading
These days, many fans also buy or trade photocards through social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.
In this type of trade, sellers and buyers post about the photocards they want to sell or purchase, and then find trading partners directly by those posts.
Most of these transactions are done via parcel delivery, making it convenient since you don’t have to meet people in person.
However, there are also some risks.
Because you can’t check the actual condition of the photocard before it’s shipped, there’s always a chance of scams, fake photocards, or damaged items being traded.
In addition, the trading process can be a bit complicated, so some fans find it difficult to manage.
