Results of our Callcard Meetup Survey 2024

A sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the Callcard Meetup Survey! We received 39 responses, which is reassuring confirmation that there are still many passionate collectors out there—especially considering the survey was only open for a few days.

The survey featured 10 questions, though we’ve chosen to omit questions 9 and 10 as they included personal details. You can find a summary of the key responses below.

Remembering Nick Rankin, Founder of irishcallcards.net

Today, many of us in the Callcard collecting community learned of the untimely passing of Nick Rankin on August 7th, 2024. Nick was the driving force behind irishcallcards.net, a website similar to ours, dedicated to the passion of collecting Irish Phonecards (Callcards).

Who would like a Callcard event in 2025?

Following on from our previous blog post, I received a number of comments about the idea of a #Callcard meetup/event in 2025.

The thought of such an event is exciting... and, if we're honest, a little scary too. So, before we go any further, we need to know—would there even be interest in an event like this? Should it follow a collectors' fair model, or would people prefer something more blended, with guest speakers from the Callcard world, original memorabilia such as illustrations, prototypes, and proofs? The possibilities are endless!
