Description:

This collectible phone card features a charming "Quarter Bears™" theme, specifically commemorating South Carolina in 1788. The central image depicts two plush white teddy bears—one facing forward and the other turned backward. The bear facing forward is detailed with embroidery, including the text "South Carolina 1788" on its left side, a number "8" beneath it, and a small partial imprint of the South Carolina state quarter above its right paw. The right paw displays the American flag, while the left paw features an emblem resembling either the South Carolina state flag or another state symbol. On the bear’s left ear, the year "2000" is embroidered, indicating the minting or production year of the collectible. The plush bears exude a soft, inviting appearance, designed to appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of historical memorabilia.

The card’s purple background provides a clean contrast that highlights the central figures and text. At the top right, bold white block letters read "QUARTER BEARS™ South Carolina 1788," while below, bright yellow text states "COMMEMORATIVE PREPAID PHONE CARD," emphasizing its dual purpose as both a collectible and a functional phone card. The right side of the card features a precise image of the South Carolina quarter, showcasing the palmetto tree and crescent moon—iconic symbols of the state—alongside the year 2000 and the phrase “The Palmetto State.” At the bottom right, the AT&T logo appears, featuring their signature blue-and-white striped globe design, indicating that this card was issued by the telecommunications giant.

Designed to support a five-minute phone call, the card’s value and usage terms are clearly printed beneath the bear illustration: "5 minute AT&T Phone Card," with a smaller disclaimer noting that rates may vary within the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. The copyright tag, "©2000 Timeless Toys, Inc.," aligns with the collectible nature of the card, suggesting it was part of a limited series produced in the early 2000s. Overall, the design evokes a sense of nostalgia, blending toy-like charm with elements of historical and state pride.

Although the back of the card is not shown here, vintage prepaid phone cards typically include a magnetic strip or barcode for phone access. The reverse side often contains instructions on how to use the card, terms and conditions, customer service contact information, and any warnings or expiration details. Given its collectible aspect, it may also feature additional branding, promotional messages, legal disclaimers, and specific phone numbers or services associated with the prepaid credit. This combination of utility and collectibility makes the card both a memorable keepsake and a functional communication tool.
