Why calendars for the year 1996 are sold at high prices on the Internet

Calendars from 1996, reusable for the year 2024, are all the rage on the internet in the United States, with some selling for more than a hundred dollars. The reason ? The two years are both leap years, that is to say they have 366 days, and each begins on a Monday, according to the specialized site timeanddate. And the similarities don't end there: 1996 and 2024 are both years with Olympic Games (1996 in Atlanta and 2024 in Paris) and presidential election years in the United States.

The film “Matilda”, Tom Cruise in the first “Mission Impossible”: jokes and references to the 90s are raining down on social networks, some Internet users digging in their cellars to find nuggets from 1996. A publication, viewed more than two million of times on “FYI if you have this calendar from 1996 with Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the dates match those of 2024, so you can reuse it,” warns the SpaceMonkeyX account.

An Internet user dug up a calendar from the video rental company, Blockbuster, which shows the successful films from 1995 soon available on VHS in 1996 such as “Pocahontas”, “Batman Forever” and even “Casper”.

On Ebay, calendars from 1996 sell for prices ranging from around twenty to a hundred dollars. The one with actress Pamela Anderson, starring in “Papa bricole” but especially “Baywatch”, costs at least 150 dollars on the sales site. And we will have to wait until 2052 to use them again, just like those of 2024.
