Colnect is a truly international community of collectors with registered collectors from 124 countries available in 25 different languages. Colnect has just announced that it has over 100,000 collectible phone cards listed in its catalog and that Colnect’s community members have over 3,000,000 physical phone cards.
The world’s most extensive collectible phone cards catalog available on Colnect is being created using wiki-style updates. Active collectors of Colnect’s international community are constantly adding more items to the catalog and updating existing items.
But perhaps the most important service offered to the collectors is their ability to easily mark items from the catalog as a part of their collection, swap list or wish list. Colnect can then perform automated matching between collectors allowing them to easily swap the items.
Colnect’s translation to 25 languages has also been done by the collectors. Supported languages are:English العربية Български 汉字 Hrvatski Česky Nederlands Suomi Français Deutsch Ελληνικά עברית Magyar Italiano 우리말 Polski Português BR Português PT Română Русский Slovenščina Español Svenska ภาษาไทย Türkçe
Amir Wald, founder of Colnect, says that Colnect Philately (stamps) and Colnect Numismatics (coins) are now being developed and are expected to soon be available to a limited crowd of collectors. "The astonishing success of our ideas within the relatively small phone card collectors community has motivated us to offer our unique services to all collectors of mass-produced collectibles. We strongly believe that Colnect will completely revolutionize the way collectors swap items and manage their collection".
Colnect’s website offers all its services for free at http://colnect.com though a short registration (here) is needed to manage your own collection and contact other collectors.
