No i think they are just after the units on them. they have some trick to turn them into money i think. Ebay is your best bet i reckon.

sounds interesting, I must have at least 100 unopened callcards, any idea what the trick is?

Gosh I didn't think there would be more people who had collected them as little ones....I have a huge collection,some are great. Does anyone know how I would go about selling them as I am moving country and need to clear my house! I would love to make something for them as I am sure they will be worth alot in time?

If they are used only a handfull would be worth anything substantial, Let me know what you have and i can give you a valuation. They are only worth what people are willing to pay which isnt as much nowadays as ten years ago.

I have no idea. maybe theres some premium line they call with the cards. Youd be better off selling them to collectors

Oh really, oh okay... well I have alot of Irish cardsTir na nOg orientated ones, Christmas in Ireland, the old school adverts that were once played..a few Zig and Zag types, obviously the popular disney cartoons we had growing up, boyzone, valentines day etc...huge amount of BT and Mercury cards..and alot mor foreign cards, maybe all worth nothing right!?

I've got a huge collection of these, about eight or nine hundred i'd say. I have most of the highly collectable ones in packaging such as the Eagle Star, the rare Irish Horse Racing one, lots more but they are in my parents house and i can't remember off hand the other rare ones. I haven't looked at these in about 10 years. If i was to try sell them what is the best way to do it and is there anywhere to get them valued?

Try checking prices being realised on eBay.co.uk

brother used to collect them seriously when he was younger,

I think his most rarest are:

Black Back Cottage

I remember him paying 80punts for eagle star call card

He does have thousands still under the bed.

ill ask him if he wants tyem anymore cause he isn't the collector type anymore.

I just found bits and pieces of when I was a collector years ago. What's all this about Eircom? It was Telecom Eireann back in those days baby It's a blast from the past looking at this stuff. I have foldout issues from the callcard collector's club with the pictures of the cards. Basically order forms trying to get my pocket money. I even have my first letter from them with my collector's number, thanking me for sending my application form. Dated from 1996 and from a typewriter no less. Still haven't forgiven them for spelling my name wrong though .
