    Can you guys explain the whole telephone card thing in Japan? When I was there earlier this year I'd walk into stores in Akihabara that have a floor almost devoted entirely for erotic telephone cards. Seeing the prices for some of these was a bit shocking. What exactly is the appeal? Like, I can understand spending money on doujin and eroge but spending like 3,000+ yen on a little erotic card I just don't get..

    Help me understand this, /jp/

    Collectible items.

    It's just a collectible, might as well be eroge post stamps and it'd be the same thing

    OP here again. I guess I should have asked this as well, my bad:

    Why telephone cards of all things? Am I wrong in assuming that the average otaku would have a telephone plan?

    it's probably a legacy from when mobiles weren't widespread as they are now, except it didn't die out because eroge limited merchandise is a pretty huge market

    They don't get them to use them. They get them because they have art on them. They are very expensive trading cards.

    Yeah, for example when ordering games, I've always wondered why a stupid card can add +1000 yen to the game price.
    And then those same cards are sold on yahoo for 4000+ yen few days after release date.
    The worst thing is, they add a different card for each of twenty different game store's.
    Being card collector's must be suffering.
