Is there a market for these?

    Wow... I have an old expired card... never figured it would be worth anything though... I only saved it because it has the Nashville Predators logo on the front from their first season in Nashville, which was the year I lived there. Just went and pulled it out, it's actually a check card... pretty darn nice looking too... and I didn't even sign it (perhaps that adds value?)... aside from some minor scuffing from going through a swiper several times, I'd say it's a solid 8.

    Perfect example of supply/demand. Everyone cut them up, so few exist intact. Kinda like the prewar cards recycled for the war huh?

    It doesnt surprise me.

    There is a guy at my office who collects the different free cd's that are sent by AOL. You know, the ones that advertise the free minutes, the new upgrades, and all of that? He has over 600 different ones.

    Collectibles are collectibles. It would be interesting to note how "rareness" is determined with credit cards (aside from those of famous people) as they would all seem to be equally rare.

    To each their own.

    Perhaps there's something more sinister at work here. If you obtain an expired credit card, could you steal a person's identity?

    Collecting credit cards is no different then collecting baseball cards. It's a hobby,people collect everything. Old credit cards are kind of interesting as there are so many different designs.

    << <i>This is a vintage credit card from Mastercard Citibank, expired 11/90 >>

    This sorta goes with the thread on what does one consider vintage in cards. In 1950, the Diners’ Club issued the first credit card (invented by Diners' Club founder Frank McNamara) in the United States (restaurant bills only) and American Express followed in 1958. Bank of America issued the BankAmericard (now Visa), the first bank credit card later in 1958.
    Altho I do think this could be a very different and interesting collecting niche, I would hardly call a 1990 expired credit card vintage.
