The hunt for the perfect SEVENTEEN photocard is a core part of the CARAT experience, and the *Spill the Feels* era, released on October 14, 2024, is no exception. This 12th Mini Album brought with it one of the most extensive and sought-after photocard collections in recent memory, featuring hundreds of unique cards across album versions, Pre-Order Benefits (POBs), and official merchandise. With multiple concepts—implicitly titled 'Feel You,' 'Feel New,' and 'Feel Blue'—collectors face a thrilling but complex challenge to complete their bias set.
This comprehensive guide, updated for the current market, breaks down the entire *Spill the Feels* photocard universe, from the basic album inclusions to the most elusive POBs, ensuring you have the latest information to navigate the trading and selling landscape successfully.
SEVENTEEN Spill the Feels Album Photocard Inclusions Breakdown
The *Spill the Feels* album was released in two main formats: the Standard Version (often sold as a set of three different concepts) and the CARAT Version (a member-specific binder). Understanding the inclusion rates for each is crucial for any collector.
Standard Album Version Photocards
The Standard Version of the album is the starting point for most collectors. The inclusions are designed to be a random pull, adding an element of surprise to every purchase.
- Inclusion Rate: Random 2 out of 26 types.
- Total Cards: 26 unique photocards (2 per member).
- Concepts: The 26 cards are generally split across the album's core concepts (often unofficially referred to as 'Feel You,' 'Feel New,' and 'Feel Blue' based on the visual themes).
- Other Inclusions: The Standard album also includes a Sleeve Box, Photobook, Scratch Card, and a Deco Sticker, with a special Stamp included only in the First Press run.
CARAT Version Photocard Sets
The CARAT Version is specifically designed for bias collectors, as it centers around a member-specific binder. This version offers the highest number of photocards per album.
- Inclusion Rate: Random 4 out of 52 types.
- Total Random Cards: 52 unique photocards (4 per member).
- Member-Specific Concept Cards: In addition to the random pulls, the CARAT Version includes 24 concept photocards specific to the member binder you purchased (e.g., a Vernon CARAT Version binder comes with 24 Vernon concept PCs).
- Total CARAT PCs Per Album: 28 photocards (4 random + 24 member-specific).
The Rarity Hierarchy: POBs and Lucky Draws
The true value and scarcity in K-Pop collecting often lie outside the album itself, in the Pre-Order Benefit (POB) cards. These cards are exclusive to specific retailers or events and are produced in much smaller quantities, driving up their market price.
Pre-Order Benefit (POB) Photocards
POBs are distributed by various global and Korean retailers for pre-orders of the album. Each store often has its own exclusive set of 13 photocards (one for each SEVENTEEN member: S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino).
Key *Spill the Feels* POB Entities:
- Weverse POBs: Typically include a set of unreleased selfie photocards and sometimes acrylic photo frames, known for their high-quality and consistent demand.
- Apple Music POBs: Famous for their exclusive Polaroid-style photocards, which are highly popular among collectors. Group Polaroid POBs were also available for set purchases.
- Withmuu Lucky Draw: These are event-specific photocards, often featuring a unique pose or outfit, making them instantly recognizable and highly valued due to their limited nature.
- JAPAN POBs: Exclusive photocards distributed by Japanese retailers, which are often harder to obtain for international fans, increasing their secondary market price.
- Target Exclusive POBs: For US-based CARATs, the Target exclusive versions offered unique photocards not found in the standard releases.
The Rarest Card: Wonwoo's 'Towel' Photocard
Every era has a breakout rare card, and for *Spill the Feels*, the Wonwoo 'Feel Blue' version photocard has emerged as a top-tier item. This specific card, which features Wonwoo with a towel, is highly sought after on the secondary market. Its unique concept and high demand from Wonwoo's massive fanbase contribute to its premium price, making it a major entity in the collection.
Tips for Collecting and Trading Spill the Feels Photocards
The sheer volume of photocards—26 in the Standard album, 52 in the CARAT version, plus countless POBs—requires a strategic approach for any serious collector.
1. Focus on Your Bias and Sub-Unit
With 13 members and 3 sub-units (Vocal Team: Woozi, Jeonghan, Joshua, DK, Seungkwan; Hip-Hop Team: S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, Vernon; Performance Team: Hoshi, Jun, The8, Dino), attempting a full set is an enormous undertaking. Most CARATs focus on their ultimate bias or a specific team's cards to manage costs and effort. Use the member-specific CARAT version to secure a large bulk of your bias's cards immediately.
2. Utilize the Photocard Checklist
Before trading, always reference a fan-made master checklist. These comprehensive lists detail every single card, including the concept, version (e.g., 'Feel New' or 'Feel Blue'), and POB source (e.g., Apple Music, Beatroad, etc.). This prevents confusion and ensures you don't overpay for a common card thinking it's a rare POB.
3. Understand the Market Price Fluctuations
Photocard prices are fluid and are set by Korean sellers on platforms like Pocamarket and global sellers on eBay. Generally, the order of value is:
- Lucky Draw/Fansign POBs: Most expensive and rarest.
- Retailer POBs (Weverse, Apple Music): High value, especially immediately after release.
- CARAT Version Random PCs: Mid-range value.
- Standard Album PCs: Lowest value, most common.
Cards featuring the most popular members or those with unique, viral poses (like the Wonwoo 'Towel' card) will always command a higher price regardless of their inclusion status.
4. Official MD Photocard Sets
Don't overlook the Official Merchandise (MD) photocard sets, which are separate from the album. For the *Spill the Feels* era, Pledis released official MD Photocard Sets, such as the 'FEEL NEW VER.' and 'FEEL BLUE VER.' These sets are a guaranteed way to get a full set of 13 unique cards for a specific concept without relying on random pulls, offering a great alternative for completionists.
