Description:

These collectible telecards are a set of ten cards from the Endangered Species Series, each valued at $100 and issued by Advantage Communications, Inc. (ACI). Each card features a detailed photographic image of a specific endangered animal alongside its national flag and issuance details, including the exact issuance date and the serial number out of 200 produced. The set includes the following animals: Panda from China (issued 08/01/93, number 155/200), Harp Seal from Canada (issued 12/01/93, number 133/200), Humpback Whale from the United States (issued 01/15/94, number 151/200), Macaw from Brazil (issued 03/04/94, number 87/200), Cheetah from Kenya (issued 05/15/94, number 108/200), Gray Wolf from the United States (issued 08/30/94, number 28/200), Koala from Australia (issued 01/21/95, number 132/200), Manatee from the United States (issued 07/15/95, number 68/200), Indian Elephant from India (issued 11/06/95, number 12/200), and Zebra from the Central African Republic (issued 12/06/95, number 32/200).

Each telecard prominently displays the animal name in uppercase letters along the left side with contrasting color band backgrounds. The right side of the cards contains the respective country's flag, the issuance date in a yellow font, the serial number in silver or white numerals, and the ACI logo in red and gold with the full company name "Advantage Communications, Inc." underneath. The exact date of issue is printed in a clean, legible yellow font above the serial number. The background colors for each card vary but maintain a textured or photographic quality that complements the featured animal's image. The denomination "$100 TELECARD" is shown on the right side in yellow font, aligned vertically.

The animal photographs offer clear and realistic views of the species in their natural or typical appearance. For example, the Panda card shows a close-up of the panda bear holding bamboo; the Harp Seal card presents the seal pup with its fluffy white fur; the Humpback Whale card illustrates the whale breaching a body of water with mountains in the background. Similarly, the Macaw is pictured in profile with vibrant red, blue, and green feathers; the Cheetah card shows an adult with a cub in a grassy environment; the Gray Wolf card captures the wolf facing forward. The Koala appears perched on a tree branch among green leaves; the Manatee is underwater, facing the viewer; the Indian Elephant stands near a water body with a partly cloudy sky; and the Zebra’s image focuses on the distinctive black-and-white stripes in a close-up profile. Each card also includes an alphabetical designation (A, D, E, G, N, R, or W) printed on the right, indicating its place within the set sequence.

Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
