Card Information

The fifth Eircom Callcard Collectors Fair was held in the R.D.S. Concert & Lecture Hall in Dublin on May 13th, 2000. The fair, hosted by Eircom and the Irish Brain Research Foundation, seen all proceeds being donated to the worthwhile charity. The fair started at 10am until 6pm. Entrance fee was EUR2.54 per adult and EUR1.27 per child (under 12). Eircom has been involved with the Irish Brain Research Foundation through the Callcard fair since its first in 1995.

It was planned that this would be the last Callcard fair as young collectors of Callcards have started to use new technology and e-commerce to buy their Callcards. To mark what would have been the final Callcard fair, Eircom produced a very different limited edition Callcard in a special cardboard presentation sleeve.

This specially produced Callcard features an original design and a lenticular Printed image which changes as the card viewed at different angles. Only 2,500 cards were produced and were on sale at the door for EUR8.89. The card was only available on the day and each visitor got a ticket which entitled them to buy one.
