Dear forumer,

I was wondering if phone cards or their collection is still current as a collector's item?

Few are offered and little is asked for I have the idea.

It is no longer flourishing like it did in the 90s.

Am I right?

Greetz,

William Herschel

Half a year of silence is the right answer.

A few months ago I also put my phone cards on sale. It is not exactly stormy :-)

However, I still have a number of Dutch maps that have not yet been introduced. I have been able to photograph them by now.

Who likes to add them to the catalog. I lack time. My focus is more on the coins.
It concerns about 100 cards. Mainly Dutch, some Arena and motif comics.

Send me a message if you want to do this. I will then send you the photos.

Haha, so there is no interest in this topic at all. A pity because there is a lot in collecting country that is less colorful and yet more collectible.

I still have 1000s of phone cards lying around and I am still going to put them on in time. Together we can then at least record a catalog of a piece of history.

Phone cards are very much collected internationally, only not (yet) on Catawiki, phone cards here are, just like before with the Gift Cards, a mess and everything but complete, I am in the process of adding 100,000+ cards, fixing the errors replace all worthless photos with high-resolution scans.

The international fair in Paris every year still attracts more than 1000 phone card collectors.

It takes a long time, but it slowly becomes more beautiful and better.

Good looking! All those cards, do you have a lot of free time? ;)

The better organized, the sooner more collectors sign up here, you would say. It's just a pity that the internationalization of CataWiki for the collectors has just stopped and is even being phased out.

Good luck!

Good to hear. Who knows where I can get (second-hand) albums?

I have a lot of original lists from telecoms and manufacturers so that makes a huge difference, I just hope that people will leave the info and numbering in honor and not give them fantasy numbering so that the collectors know what exists.

PTT 86 = Top-up card

PTT 87 = Database card

PTT 88 = Station 12

PTT 89 = Telecard

PTT 90 = Chipper

Collecting is really that easy, PTT provides the information, I place it here.

For example, all Database cards are now together: http://www.catawiki.nl / catalog / telephone cards / series / 3258093-ptt-87

At the telephone card fair, many people with an iPad are now looking for gift cards at the fair and Catawiki is very popular, for telephone cards they now (still) go to Colnect , I want to change this, Colnect is a mess when it comes to calling cards.

Greetings

Phonocard

calling cards is a mess here, just like before with the Gift Cards.

It also doesn't help if you use a field for other purposes than what it is intended for. There are an awful lot of wrong years filled in with other info.

Hello Kdamme,

If there is no possibility to enter a series number as is the case with gift cards, you are forced to put it by year. If gift cards also give an option to enter the series number, we can keep that.

Kdamme, I signed up as a gift and phone card manager (ALREADY 2 TIMES!) and this would be fixed (ALREADY 2 TIMES!) so I can expand the number of fields there, this would be fixed but still not done!

Because there is no administrator and they still want to know the info regarding serial numbers, there is nothing else left than to do it this way.

Isn't it possible for details until there is a field? You don't mention the country "Green" because there is no field for color, do you?

In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to "abuse" the field for this year. You cannot rename that field anyway, because there are also many items where this field is used for the year.

You get that without an administrator, I am still interested in it so I can adjust everything nicely.

Even if you are an administrator, you cannot add fields.

Then he can also tick that at gift card, and if you are an administrator and I have already explained the problem to you, so why not ask the catalog manager? you could have done months ago.

I can do several things myself, but for extensions I need support from a programmer. Because 'my' programmer is no longer here, I am temporarily paralyzed in various areas. Hopefully this will change soon, but programmers are not there for the taking. In the meantime, I'll do what I can. Also tedious work that had been left behind for years. (;-) So there is still plenty of movement.

OK, then it will be okay later, until then we have to 'borrow' the year with gift cards, the collectors are now very happy that they are all lined up and it has given gift card collecting a real and boost .

How do you envision the "borrowing" of the field? Do you go through all the cards to move the card number from there to a new field? (I can also imagine that there will be a script that will contain all years before 1900 and after 2016 will be automatically moved to card number and only the intermediate ones will be manually transferred)
