17 Classic Irish Callcard Designs That Will Instantly Bring You Back To The 1990s

There are few things in Irish life that will transport you into the past quite like Callcards.

Once an absolutely essential element of any well stocked wallet, they’ve now become retro-rich collectors’ items. And IrishCallcards.net – along with its must-follow Twitter account – documents them beautifully.

Thanks to site owner Nick Rankin, we’ve pulled together this absolute FEAST of nostalgia to get you through this Tuesday afternoon.
