Romanian Catalogue
Banner exchange !

Comparing with some other countries where phonecards collecting is a well established, wide spread hobby, in Romania the hobby is still in its infancy with only a few collectors and small collections. The lack of a great phonecard variety in terms of themes and design doesn't help at all this few collectors to improve their collections. Unfortunately, still a lot of phonecard users destroy them in the end so many of the phonecards become scarce and getting used cards started to be a tough task. Since 1999, the new Romtelecom management seems to treat in a different way this product making phonecards more appealing to the (potential) collectors. The promising information about future releases of special cards for collectors made me to start sorting and classifying all the Romanian phonecards and building the first catalog ever created. I hope this will be a helpful tool for collectors from everywhere. Unfortunately, the information regarding the first issues circulation are based only on personal or third party observations and are not coming from official sources (Romtelecom started to make public the circulation figures only in 1998). There are only a few print variations, Moreno sign appears only on the very first issues and the used chips are GEM PLUS and SCHLUMBERGER type. The catalog is built in chronological order outlining the chip type and domain. I welcome any addition or correction from your side in my attempt to build a better catalog.

ATTENTION !!! All the prices are approximate, being compiled with the help of other Romanian collectors. The evaluation is made for used phonecards but otherwise in very good condition (without visible usage signs or scratches). For phonecards in a not such a good shape, their value decreases accordingly.
ATENTIE !!! Toate preturile sunt informative, multe date fiind obtinute cu ajutorul colectionarilor romani. Evaluarea, in cazul cartelelor uzate, este data numai cartelelor in foarte buna conditie (fara urme vizibile de uzura, zgarieturi sau indoituri). Pentru cartelele intr-o stare mai precara, valoarea scade proportional.

Fata de alte tari, in Romania, colectionarea cartelelor telefonice este un hoby foarte tinar si in usoara expansiune. In prezent sunt putini colectionari avansati dar numarul lor este in crestere o data cu diversificarea materialului colectionistic. Din nefericire, datatorita slabei mediatizari a fenomenului colectionistic si a ignorantei cetatenilor, o cantitate imensa de cartele folosite sunt distruse dupa utilizare, lasind un vid in incercarile timide ale unor colectionari, de propagare si raspindire a acestui hoby. Pina in 1999, varietatea cartelelor romanesti a fost slab reprezentata, datele oficiale imposibil de procurat, factori ce au descurajat pe multi incepatori. Schimbarile la nivel inalt survenite in conducerea institutiei emitente a cartelelor telefonice, abordarea pe criterii tematice si privirea cu multa seriozitate a acestui hoby, au condus la aparitia in ultimii 3 ani a unui numar serios de cartele telefonice cu tematici variate si a unui numar mare de noi colectionari de diverse virste. Aceste schimbari precum si promisiunile incurajatoare ale conducerii Romtelecom, de aparitie a unui sortiment variat si tematic de cartele, m-au determinat sa abordez cu mai mult curaj incercarea mea mai veche de sistematizare si catalogare a cartelelor telefonice romanesti. Prezentul catalog este construit pe criterii cronologice, clasificare dupa tipurile de cip folosite si dupa domeniile reprezentate. Orice sugestie sau informatie ce pot ajuta la consolidarea informatiilor din acest catalog sunt bine venite si apreciate. Astept semnale din partea dumneavoastra.
