Description:

This set of three collectible phone cards, issued by Ameritech in 1994, serves as an artistic tribute to soccer, or futbol, capturing dynamic moments from the sport through vivid, energetic illustrations. Each card is part of the "¢oin$aver" series, clearly marked at the top with Ameritech's logo and the denomination prominently displayed in the bottom left corner—$2, $5, and $10, respectively. The backgrounds are predominantly black, which makes the vibrant colors of the players and motion lines stand out, creating a striking visual impact. The use of flowing, multi-colored lines behind the figures suggests speed and movement, a creative choice that echoes the fast-paced nature of international soccer tournaments like the World Cup.

The $10 card features two soccer players engaged in a competitive moment. One is dressed in a white-striped jersey with red shorts, while the other wears a blue jersey with yellow shorts. Both are actively vying for the ball, skillfully depicted with broad strokes in warm earth tones and bright accents, emphasizing the tension and fluidity of the game. Radiating parallel lines in vivid colors behind the players mimic their speed and energy, capturing an intense athletic moment typical of historic World Cup matches. The artwork celebrates not only athleticism but also the passion that fuels soccer fandom worldwide.

On the $2 card, the focus is on a solitary goalkeeper diving to make a crucial save—a dramatic and pivotal moment in any match. The goalkeeper is portrayed mid-air, fully extended with arms outstretched to catch the flying ball, dressed in a purple jersey and dark shorts. Abstract blue and red lines surround the figure, heightening the sense of motion and urgency as the goalkeeper attempts to prevent a goal. In the background, sharp white lines depict the goal net, emphasizing the goal area and adding to the drama of this defensive play. This card powerfully captures one of soccer’s most suspenseful roles, highlighting the vital impact of the goalkeeper in changing the course of the game.

The $5 card depicts another exciting moment, with two players locked in fierce competition. One wears a white-and-blue uniform, while the other is dressed in red. They appear to be pursuing the ball, which is shown spinning with motion lines in bright, energetic colors—reflecting the intensity and artistic flair that characterize the sport’s global appeal. The brushstroke style and bold hues convey the physicality and rhythm of a world-class match, evoking the spirited battles seen in international tournaments. Together, these three cards form a cohesive set that honors soccer’s worldwide excitement, movement, and drama through a unique blend of art and memorabilia—perfect for collectors passionate about both sports and artistic expression.
