Calling Collect




Calling Collect: A collection of Japanese phone cards from the 1990s

Overview: 
These cards feature a very large variety of designs. Colorful Japanese landscapes and cityscapes, educational information, drawings that reference popular culture, or ads.
Owing to the large quantity of individual designs, these are highly prone to collection in Japan. 

Each of the cards in the collection have been used, as they all have machine-punched holes in the top, indicating how many credits they have left. Most cards have been used in full, but some still have some of the original 105 or 50 credits left.
