Global Chipcard Alliance Irish Edition Callcard (1234)

Only 7,000 of these packs were produced worldwide and just 700 of these were available for purchase from the CallCard Collectors’ Club from Thursday, 1st April 1999, to which they sold out almost instantly. The white surface on the back of the card has a glossy, non-print finish to it.
