And the rumours you could just put them in the freezer and you’d get more credit?
I still have the walk on the beach one, found it getting the decorations out the attic
I ‘member. They added an element of danger and tension to calling home from the Gaeltacht
I still have the Garth Brooks ones 😆
Look at Fancy Pants here with their call cards!
It was reverse call charges for me when I was in school 😂
Remember Alf? He’s back. In pog form
And the duvet cover looks retro too
There’s a pile of them somewhere in the attic.
Yeah I ‘member
Totally unnecessary, let it ring 3 times, hang up, wait.
The morse code of the 90s.
Jayzus I used to collect them back in the day(it was a thing at national school) Had loads of different ones and would trade them if I’d more than 4 of them any one them. The most common one was the niamh from tir na nóg card
Before my time grandad
First thought: Spanish students.
Remember them? I have a folder full of them. Spent about two grand on them as a 13 yr old. Worth bloody nothing now.
Still have all mine unopened in a book waiting for them to be worth something if I sell them now I would probably get 50 euro 😭
Remember Telephone Boxes
When you’d find one in the phone box with a couple of units left on it it was like winning the lottery.
Not like we’d anyone to be calling anyway. We used to ring any freephone numbers we could find and try to have the chats with them. Rosemary in Coca-Cola, I’m really sorry.
I do
I remembered been told of limited edition slof the kitcat, only to find that every one had one. Still have my collection somewhere
There back! In POG form!
Any Zig and Zag ones?
They’re quite serious collectors items, many are only worth less than the money that was on them in when in mint condition but a few of the older rarer ones fetch into the double or even triple figures. When I volunteered in a charity shop there was a full basket of hundreds of them and we wondered who would be interested in something like these (you know how how Charity Shops are, they sell whatever junk comes in the door). Then one guy came in one day and purchased it for €15. I’d say he went on to make a healthy profit. I imagine they originally belonged to some guy who died who spend years building up a collection only for his family to dump it in the nearest place they could find.
Cleaning out behind a radiator a couple years ago found a couple of these and a punt/euro conversion card.
I remember hearing that you could put them in the freezer to reactivate the credits. It didn’t work
Back in the good oul days
Are they back? In pog form?
My Grandad had a collection of them, and I’d say that had no small part in me collecting stickers and stuff when I was younger.
