Collecting is a popular hobby! Since the early 1990s, phone cards have become a dynamic and exciting collectible industry. These credit card sized plastic cards were originally used to make long distance phone calls but have grown to be appreciated for their rarity, beauty, and artistry making them a focus for collectors worldwide. However, a phone card is more than a piece of cardboard or plastic with a pretty picture on it. Not only do they feature unique designs and images covering a variety of themes, they are also a piece of history. Predating money cards, phone cards represent the first step in our society’s transition from actual cash to digital or electronic currency. Similar to coins or stamps but unlike sports cards, phone cards have inherent value containing actual money to make phone calls. While some are still used for their original purpose, many are prized simply as collectibles. As with any collected item, they are a fun and unique way to represent your interests and values.

Every collectible item has its own standards to determine excellence and value. Phone cards are no exception, but they are very different from other collectible cards. Their unique qualities require a different set of guidelines to compare quality. Why would you turn to a company that doesn’t specialize in phone cards?
