The last frontier concerns technological materials which, apparently, may not even be worth a single euro. But on the contrary, thanks to new collections and the search for rare and unique pieces, they can hide real treasures.

Suffice it to give an example concerning the well-known eBay site, on which many telephone cards have been put up for sale, including 5 copies which have attracted the attention of certain collectors.

Six thousand people on the e-commerce site have launched an auction. The same came to pay 14,000 euros to secure certain rare and particular SIMs. Another emblematic case is that of a TIM number: 33Y XXXXXXX. Obviously, the entire telephone number was hidden from the public, but this card was sold on the internet for the amount of 8,600 euros. Details and features of these special SIMs are yet to be clarified.
