These two collectible telephone cards, each valued at $1.00 USA, were issued for the 16th National Sports Collectors Convention held in St. Louis, Missouri, from July 24 to 30, 1995. They form a set of two cards designed as a puzzle, produced by Mercury Marketing MMC under Planet Telecom. Both cards prominently display the iconic St. Louis Arch in the background, establishing the location of the event.
The first card features a stylized illustration of a football player in full gear, running forward while holding a football securely in one arm. The player wears a helmet and a uniform that includes red, gold, and white colors. The top of the card includes the words "PREPAID LONG DISTANCE" in black letters, and the bottom contains the convention dates and location: "JULY 24-30, 1995 ST. LOUIS, MO," printed in yellow.
The second card highlights three athletes representing different sports. In the foreground stands a hockey goalie wearing a helmet with a red and black design and full protective gear, crouched and ready for action. Behind the goalie, a baseball batter in a white uniform swings at a pitch, with a batting helmet and gloves visible. To the left, a basketball player wearing a red jersey with the number 22 is reaching upward with both hands, likely to catch or block the ball. The upper portion of this card reads "TELEPHONE CARD" in black letters, and beneath the athlete images is blue script text that says "16th National Sports Collectors Convention," along with the dates and location in smaller print.
Both cards celebrate the sports of football, basketball, baseball, and hockey while highlighting the St. Louis Arch as a symbol of the host city for the major sports collectors event. They reflect the artistic style of the mid-1990s and are part of a collectible product line related to the 16th National Sports Convention.
