Description:

This collectible phone card commemorates the 1996 Democratic National Convention held in Chicago, a pivotal event in American politics where the Democratic Party officially nominated its presidential candidate. The card’s design is split into two vertical sections: the left side features a dark background with subtle blue stars, echoing elements of the American flag, while the right side displays a softly focused close-up of the flag’s red and white stripes fluttering in the wind. This patriotic imagery underscores the national importance of the convention and the democratic process.

At the top left, refined white text reads, "The 1996 Democratic National Convention™ Chicago," firmly anchoring the card in its specific historical and political context. Centered prominently across the flag background, the bold black text "AT&T PrePaid Card" identifies its purpose as a prepaid phone card—a popular telecommunications product of the 1990s. Toward the lower left, the value indicator "5 Units" appears in a combination of white and maroon, balancing clarity with the overall aesthetic.

In the bottom left corner, the card declares AT&T as the "Official Technology Company and Long Distance Provider," highlighting the telecommunications giant’s sponsorship and official partnership with the convention. This reflects the growing role of communication technology in political campaigns and conventions during the 1990s, as well as the significance of corporate alliances and endorsements in U.S. political events.

Finally, logos for Lucent Technologies and AT&T are displayed side by side at the card’s base, representing leading telecommunications brands of the era. Lucent Technologies, a spin-off from AT&T, is featured with its distinctive circular logo and the tagline "Bell Labs innovations," emphasizing cutting-edge technology and service. The AT&T globe logo reinforces the theme of long-distance connectivity. Together, these elements make this prepaid phone card both a functional item and a commemorative keepsake that captures the intersection of politics, technology, and corporate sponsorship during a defining moment in American electoral history.
