[THE BLOOM : UTOPIA photocards

How to tell a real photocard

The criteria below apply to every album photocard. Compare the card you received with the official contents listed on this page.

1. 1Size: 55 x 85 mm (within 1 mm), rounded corners cut clean, no burr.
2. 2Print: sharp offset print, no pixels or visible screen pattern to the naked eye, colours identical to the photobook.
3. 3Paper: thick, rigid card stock (about 300 gsm), even glossy or matte finish depending on the album.
4. 4Back: album or group logo printed, never a blurry photo or a blank back when the official card has one.
5. 5Set: the member and visual exist in the official set of the version (list above); a card outside the set is fan-made.
6. 6Price: a rare card sold far below market is suspect. Buy with original sleeve and toploader when possible.
