photocards

Idol trading cards

Photocards are small printed cards featuring photographs, typically of celebrities or pop culture figures.

The term is most associated with K-pop fandom, where photocards of band members are included with album purchases or sold separately as collectibles: I finally got the photocard I was missing from the set.

Trading and collecting photocards has become a significant part of fan culture.
