    I had a callcard collection back around 95. I found it recently when I was at home.
    I have a fair few and a respectable amount with full credit.
    Is there anywhere I can sell them?

    Did u ever sell them ?

    There used to be such a big following but I dont know if there is anymore!

    There was a major callcard collecting 'mania' when people actually used them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 411 ✭✭thecelt


    Yes there was! Some cards were worth a nice few bob!
    Just wondering if there is still people out there who buy and sell them?

    I found my collection sitting in a drawer and picked out the best 100 and laid them on cardboard and framed them. Its pretty big but better than being stuck in a drawer!

    Nice idea, once there's no particularly rare ones in it :D . I still collect Callcards, even made a site about them (irishcallcards.net) :) . Regarding values it very much boils down to supply and demand. Plenty of what would previously have been considered rare Callcards have flooded the market in the last few years (mostly due to people selling off their collections/dealers clearing out their stock). And with so few current collectors out there, this makes them less valuable.
    Certain mint private issue cards will likely sell well though, and the extremely rare IMI 'Ireland's Europe' Callcards are still worth a fair few quid today.

    Pretty hard to come across the World Cup 02 cards these days, particularly all 26 cards. Keep an eye out on adverts.ie and ebay, as they do come up occasionally.

    Must have a look at my old cards if I still have them next time I am visiting the parents.

    Nostalgia90s there's no need to spam the exact same message on 7 different threads that are years old. Have deleted all the other ones, please don't do that again.

    Blade, no offence intended.
    Didn't know where to start, so I searched "callcards" and felt that if someone was interested in the topic, they would see my message.
    Was not spamming intentionally, I have resumed collecting the cards, and didn't know how best to start using Boards to make some contacts!

    Sorry again!

    Would anyone have any idea what a full mint set of World Cup 2002 callcards in the special edition folder would be worth nowadays?

    I'm hoping a few grand :0)

    most cards can be bought mint for €10 each....can buy the set for €300 at the moment with the collectors cover.
