Firstly I would like to wish everyone a happy 2009 and a fruitful year ahead.
Previously, I've blogged about the various ways of collecting stamps and what to look out for, as well as special features of stamp collection. Since this is a hobby blog, I cannot just remain here talking all about stamps right?
Yes you guessed it. I'm going to move on and blog about another hobby. This hobby will still be under the category of collections.
Prologue: Ways of communication has evolved through the years. Through stamps and letters to emails and parcels. From telegraphs to messengers to telephones. Ever thought how people communicated before the invention of handphones? I'm quite sure many of you would know that it was either by conventional telephones paid using phonecards. Only not long ago, when someone encounters an emergency, the person has to look for a public payphone, and pray that they remembered to carry a phonecard with them. In addition, the phonecard must still have value stored in them. Since phone cards were so popular back then, there were definitely efforts made to personalize and customize the appearances of the phone cards to make them more appealing to the customers/users.

The next collection item that i will be blogging about will be phone cards, and i'll also throw in other types of conventional cards as a form of value-add.
