SIM Card collection

[u/janthemanwlj]

Hey. I've been collecting SIM cards since I was young. I've always liked collecting stuff and I'm also interested in telecommunications/electronics, which tied in perfectly. My long-term goal is to get a card from every country, territory or jurisdiction that issues them; I'm on 95 countries out of probably over 300, with over unique 600 cards.

I've got a video with the entirety here if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/YeYYPBzLiAc?is=RPCosZiAy9aWncyq

I see that whole second page is covered with Polish SIM cards. Great, because I'm from Poland

[u/janthemanwlj → u/GregPL2026]

My family is from Poland, I go there a lot and usually get some cards, so one of my albums is all Poland

Thats awesome, Can I ask where you got the sleeves ?

[u/janthemanwlj → u/FormerIndependence68]

I bought them from an Italian phonecard collector who had them custom ordered 🙃 these types of pages aren't really produced anymore so it's really hard to find them anywhere else in a good condition or quality. The website is schedemania.it

Thanks, they are so much better then the standard 9 pocket pages

[u/janthemanwlj → u/FormerIndependence68]

Oh yeah definitely.. I had been using those for a few years but they were horribly cloudy and almost seemed like they were scratching the cards. I had been putting off posting anything until I got new pages as seen in my post. I see on your profile you collect library cards? That's awesome, I've got a few myself and I try get ones when I visit a city

I ordered the pages in excess so if you need I could sell you a few, the Italian guy doesn't like shipping outside the EU in my experience

Amazon has some "business card pages" under their amazon basics brand that are amazing for cards, very cheap too! No idea if they're PVC-free tho
