What is a POB photocard?
POB means pre-order benefit. Collectors usually use it for cards given when an album is ordered during a specific pre-order window or from a specific store. Two albums from the same comeback can therefore have different POBs depending on where they were bought.
- Store examples can include Weverse Shop, Ktown4u, Soundwave, Makestar, Target, Walmart, or local retailers.
- POBs are often tracked separately from standard album inclusions because they are harder to complete later.
- When adding a POB to a wishlist, note the store, era, member, and version if available.
What is a lucky draw photocard?
A lucky draw card usually comes from a limited event where fans buy albums or participate through a store campaign to receive a random card from a special set. These cards are often visually distinct and can be harder to source after the event ends.
- Lucky draws can be online or offline depending on the shop and event rules.
- Some lucky draws overlap with fan sign or video call promotions, but collectors often label them separately.
- Because pools can be limited, it is useful to track the exact event name instead of only the album name.
What is an event card?
Event card is a broader collector term. It can describe cards from pop-ups, fan signs, broadcasts, tours, brand campaigns, cafes, anniversary events, or other limited activities. The important detail is the event context, not only the card image.
- Event cards can be official, semi-promotional, or campaign-specific depending on the source.
- For trade safety, write down where the card comes from and avoid vague labels like “special card” when possible.
- If the same selfie appears across multiple versions, the event source is what separates one listing from another.
How to track these card types in Bibliocards
Use consistent labels and collection states. Keep album photocards, POBs, lucky draws, event cards, wishlists, and duplicates separate enough that you can search them before buying or trading.
- Track owned cards and wishlist cards in the same place so gaps stay visible.
- Use duplicates as a trade-ready inventory rather than leaving them in screenshots or notes.
- When a card is rare or confusing, add context before you commit to a trade or purchase.
