In this short instructional video, the narrator clarifies the three main types of K‑pop collectible cards that can feature the same idol but originate from different sources. An album photocard (PC) is the standard card included inside a specific album version and must match the release, edition, version, and card type. A preorder benefit (POB) is an extra card offered by a retailer during a limited preorder window, with the retailer’s name becoming part of the card’s identity because different stores may use different images. A Lucky Draw card is an event‑specific reward obtained through a qualifying album purchase during a limited campaign; its set can vary by retailer, event round, or date even for the same album. The video concludes with a call to support the channel and subscribe.
