Does anyone collect credit cards?

I kind of collect them, I save my old ones, I have a box full of them - many from retailers that no longer exist. A lot of mine I've never even used. If your credit is good, you can build up a collection for almost nothing - just apply, and they'll send them. Oh, and avoid using them.

Did my server mess up??? I thought I was on COIN talk---woops there--it's back.
I am in the wrong forum---sorry
(hahahahaha)

 

You know better than that, Kasia... he could hurt those precious little society propelling fingers of his and where would that leave us?

 

Well, I'm sure by asking that he wants some little minion or someone less leadership material than he to provide the answer. Although I don't know why he asked, since his most recent sage advice is to learn from yourself and to ignore others. But I'm not providing the answer, either. Perhaps he will learn on his own on this or fail. Either way..... Bwa ha ha.

 

I don't collect hem but there is someone in one of the local coin clubs here that collects them.

 

No, but I sort of wish I had saved the Montgomery Ward credit card I had very briefly before they went down with the Titanic.

 

A steelbook is a bluray movie made with steel as the packaging rather than plastic.

 

FYI.... the reason we didn't tell detecto that is because he has a long-standing habit of asking random questions of things and never looking up the information himself. I used to look up stuff and give him the answers as well as run him through how easy it is to look it up (find a few keywords and plug them into google and hit the search button), but it's pretty much a useless endeavor as he still does not do that himself and he still puts out these questions hoping someone else will do the work for him. Plus he's not so much interested in the answer it's more of a passing thing and then he's off to the next thing.

 

During my late twenties I started collecting CCs and thought it was really cool.
Then I realized I was probably damaging my credit rating so cut up the cards.

 

The best one I have is for Magnolia Gas I got when I was in graduate school in GA. There were only 20-30 Magnolis Gas stations in GA at that time and I thought it was interesting enough to keep.

 

I have no interest in collecting them. But I do have one my employer provides us that I would imagine collectors, especially railroad memorabilia collectors, would pay for, as it is not available to the general public. Maybe when I retire I'll put it on Ebay.

 

Is Diners club still around?

 

Yes

 

Interestingly when I lived in NYC (1973-1978) Diner's Club was probably the most accepted card in the city.

 

I like the Playboy Club ones.

 

To add logical albeit unrelated thought to this thread:

Actually I have a neat mint copy, that I actually paid for when it was released.

I understand that is can be somewhat valuable.



or not.

Actually, bookstores kept them at the register because people were actually just stealing them.
Well, duh.

 

This reminds me of the time I visited my friend and saw him on the floor cutting up all his credit card while repeatedly saying "You've ruin me..You've ruin me"
