Description:

This collectible prepaid telephone card features a detailed image of the USA 29-cent AIDS Awareness postage stamp. The stamp design prominently displays a red ribbon symbolizing AIDS awareness on a cream-colored background with a dark red border that mimics a postage stamp edge. The upper left corner of the stamp has the denomination "USA 29," and the right side contains the vertical text "AIDS AWARENESS." At the bottom right of the stamp image is the copyright mark "© U.S.P.S."

The card is presented inside a First Day Cover envelope, postmarked "New York, NY, Dec 1, 1993," which marks the official first day of issue for this AIDS Awareness postage stamp. The envelope includes printed text indicating it is a "FIRST DAY ISSUE PREPAID TELEPHONE CARD." Below the main text is the Global Tel. Solutions (GTS) logo accompanied by the statement "AUTHORIZED LICENSEE OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE" and a customer service phone number (1-800-429-4301). The envelope also bears the red ribbon stamp image with the "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" cancellation mark over it. The envelope clearly ties the prepaid telephone card to the historic release of the AIDS Awareness postage stamp.

This prepaid telephone card and First Day Cover collectively commemorate the release of the HIV/AIDS awareness campaign stamp by the United States Postal Service in 1993. The red ribbon serves as an international symbol of solidarity and activism for people affected by the disease. The card and cover are collectible items that highlight fundraising and activism related to health and disease awareness, specifically emphasizing AIDS awareness through philatelic memorabilia.
