Photocard collecting has become one of the most beloved aspects of KPop fandom culture. Whether you’re a new ENGENE (ENHYPEN fan) looking to start collecting, or you’re curious about the world of photocards, this guide covers everything you need to know.
What Are Photocards?
Photocards are small collectible cards (usually about the size of a credit card) that come randomly included in KPop albums. Each album typically contains one or more random photocards from a set, featuring different members in various concept photos. The randomness is what makes collecting exciting — and addictive.
Getting Started
The simplest way to start is by buying albums. Each physical ENHYPEN album comes with random photocards. If you’re after specific members (like your bias), you can also trade with other fans or purchase individual cards.
Storage and Display
Proper storage keeps your collection in pristine condition. Top loaders and penny sleeves protect individual cards, while binder collections with pocket pages let you display and organize your growing collection. Many fans organize by group, era, or member.
Trading Culture
Trading is a huge part of the photocard community. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and dedicated trading apps connect collectors worldwide. Always use protective packaging when mailing cards, and follow community guidelines for safe trading.
Where to Buy Albums
Online stores like COKODIVE, Weverse Shop, and Amazon all carry official KPop albums with photocards included. Buying from official sources ensures you get legitimate photocards.
