Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in
Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for
their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very
attractive designs. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own
design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.
The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card
appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting
cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby
for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a
market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to ? 4,000. The first
Japanese card has a value of about ? 28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their
collectors' magazine. |
