POP MART Art Card 13-Card Sets "with Secret": How to Check Designs, Count and Condition
Our shop sells 13-card art card sets for LABUBU, SKULLPANDA and MOLLY. Using our own photos, we explain what "includes a secret" and "set only" mean, how to read the front and back of each card, and how to check the condition of paper collectibles.

POP MART's characters also appear on paper cards, not just figures. Our shop Loop KOBE sells LABUBU, SKULLPANDA (Everyday Wonderland) and MOLLY cards, each as a set of 13. Using the photos from our listings, this guide explains what "includes a secret" means and what to check before you buy.
The three sets we sell
| Set | Cards | What the listing says |
|---|---|---|
| LABUBU art cards | 13 | Includes a secret; set only; kept in sleeves after opening |
| SKULLPANDA Everyday Wonderland cards | 13 | Includes a secret; set only; sleeved right after opening |
| MOLLY art cards | 13 | Includes a secret; set only; sleeved right after opening |
All three are sold as a single set of 13 cards, combining the regular cards and the secret card. We do not sell individual cards, so these sets are not suitable if you only want one particular design.
What "includes a secret" means
POP MART's blind products often include a "secret" design that is harder to get than the regular line-up. "Includes a secret" means the secret card is part of the set. Unlike drawing cards at random one at a time, buying a complete set means you know exactly what you are getting.
We have not been able to confirm from official sources which card is the secret or the official line-up of each series, so we do not state it here. The 13 cards you receive are the ones shown in the listing photos. For more on singles versus sets in blind products, see blind boxes: single, assortment or confirmed character.
Counting all 13 cards in the photos
In our listing photos, one card sits at the top with three rows of four below it, 13 in total. Before buying, use this layout photo to check that all 13 are there and that the design you want is included. Every card is photographed inside a clear sleeve.
Reading the front and back of a card
On the actual cards, each front shows a character illustration inside a border that looks like a postage stamp. The character name, such as LABUBU or SPOOKY, is at the top right, and the name of the design is printed at the bottom in Chinese and English. The LABUBU set includes cards named after famous paintings, such as "The Birth Of Venus".
The back has a shared design with the series name and a character silhouette, with the POP MART logo at the bottom. Checking that the listing shows both a front design and the back makes it easier to confirm which series the cards belong to.
Condition checks for paper cards
Because these are paper products, cards can show white wear on the corners, fine surface scuffs or slight bending. Our listings state that, as paper goods made overseas, they may have small scuffs or marks from manufacture, and ask buyers to check the designs, count and condition in the photos. If anything concerns you, please ask the shop before buying.
Our listings say the cards are packed to prevent bending and water damage, and dispatched within two to three days of purchase. Since they have been kept in sleeves since opening, they are easy to store as they arrive. As with any paper item, keep them away from direct sunlight and humidity.
