Description:

This set features three 1996 prepaid phone cards issued by Ameritech, each showcasing a different legendary Chicago White Sox baseball player from the past. Each card includes a portrait of the player wearing a Chicago White Sox cap, with a background designed to resemble a close-up of a baseball and a batter’s glove. The text on each card reads “Sox 1996 Chicago White Sox Stars of Yesterday PrePaid Phone Card,” with a stated usage time of “Five Minutes.”

The first card highlights Minnie Miñoso, featuring his smiling portrait on the left. His name, “Minoso,” appears on a golden ribbon banner at the bottom left of the card. The second card depicts Jim “Catfish” Pierce, shown in an early baseball-era uniform with a classic cap. His name “Pierce” is also displayed on a matching banner. The third card presents a portrait of Bill “Wild Bill” Fox, shown looking to the right, wearing a pinstriped White Sox uniform and cap, with the name “Fox” similarly featured on a ribbon banner.

Each card prominently displays the Chicago White Sox logo in black and white at the top left area of the text, alongside the year 1996. The design uses a warm color palette of browns, yellows, and whites that complements the vintage theme. These collectible prepaid phone cards honor stars of past White Sox teams, connecting baseball’s historic players with telecommunications memorabilia.

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.
