Telephone card collections of nearly 40 exhibitors will be presented at Matáv's Headquarters (Krisztina krt. 55) between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on April 17-18, 2004.

Matáv has prepared more than 50 new telephone cards for this event; they include both informative and motif cards, the latter being especially popular among collectors. We are also issuing a memorial card with a special UV header for this event and, of course, visitors will have the opportunity to get telephone cards with their own photo this year, too. A novelty is the series on butterflies, the first of these is printed on transparent plastic. The series on bridges will also continue; new series will depict planets and musical instruments. The 'Horoscope' series illustrated with the graphics of Ferenc Sajdik will also be interesting; at this event, the cards with the zodiac signs of the bull and the ram will be available. Sports fans will be interested in the 14-part "Barangoló" card series issued on the occasion of the 10th Indoor World Championships in Athletics and the exclusive telephone card issued in 400 copies in honor of László Papp.

Visitors can also find entertainment on the two-day telephone card fair. There will be card auctions and a lottery; participants can also test their knowledge, skills and luck in the gambling den equipped with roulette, stock exchange and computerized trivia games. Some guests come with their families; the children can try out various crafts, make presents for themselves and their parents.
