Press There are three releases of the Sherlock Avex Taiwan albums and each release comes with different things.

Pre-order release: Came with the special Avex Sherlock cards and a normal TW pressed card. These albums were released to those who pre-ordered the Taiwan Avex Sherlock albums

First press release: Came with normal TW pressed card and a special Avex Sherlock magnet. These albums were the first wave of albums released under Avex in Taiwan.

Second press release: Came with normal TW pressed card only. Second press is the current version of Sherlock being released from Avex Taiwan.

Items

Avex Taiwan Sherlock photocard (Picture): Album came with one out of six versions of the card. These cards are the same size as the Korean and Taiwan press normal photocards. They have specks in all four corners and are extremely rare. These cards are the hardest to find out of all SHINee album photocards.

Normal Taiwan Sherlock photocard (Picture): Album came with one out of six version of the card. They are the same size as the Korean pressed ones. They have specks on the sides (while KR pressed Sherlock cards have specks on the corners.) The back of the Taiwan pressed card has www.smtown.com written on the bottom. For more Korean/Taiwan press comparisons look here.

Avex Taiwan Sherlock magnet (Picture): Album comes with one out of five versions of a small square magnet attached to the exterior of the album in a small black plastic safety case.

Where to purchase First of all, DO NOT BUY the Jonghyun pre-order Taiwan version from Yesaisa listed here expecting an Avex card or a magnet. I bought myself a copy in August 2013 and only received the normal TW press photocard. I contacted Yesasia about it and got this response. They did not change their description and people are still buying it, so beware! 

Many listings on ebay state that they come with the magnet and are usually first press. Others, such as the listing by artice_ray (100% sure they do not come with the pre-order card because I asked them myself) are second press.

To get the special Avex card, be prepared to spend some money especially for the Taemin or group card. You might find them on Japanese auction sites or on Taiwanese auction sites. Listings can range from $20 to $500 dollars depending on the seller and the card. For Sherlock Avex cards, the price order from most expensive to least is: Taemin, group, Jonghyun, Key, Onew, Minho. I have yet to find however, a legitimate website that sells the pre-order version of the album and comes with the card.
