Description:

This collectible phone card prominently features NASCAR driver Ken Schrader, a well-known figure in the racing world, especially during the mid-1990s. The design centers heavily on auto racing and highlights sponsorship from Budweiser, famously branded as the "King of Beers," which is clearly visible on Schrader’s red cap. Schrader is depicted in profile, wearing sunglasses and a racing suit predominantly in red and white, emphasizing the iconic branding of Budweiser. The image focuses on his head and upper torso, set against a backdrop resembling a chain-link fence, evoking a behind-the-scenes or pit area atmosphere that firmly roots the image in motorsports.

In the top left corner, the card displays the text "1 Minute," indicating the prepaid calling time it offers. This practical feature connects the collectible nature of the card to a functional product—a payphone card used for making calls, common in the 1990s before widespread cell phone use. The front design also features clear logos for Assets Racing, a company associated with producing such collectible phone cards, suggesting it was part of a series that combined popular sports figures with prepaid calling time.

The reverse side provides straightforward, practical instructions for the user. It lists a toll-free phone number to dial from any touch-tone phone, followed by prompts to enter additional input to complete calls. A reminder advises users not to hang up after the first call; instead, they should press [#] to continue making calls within the allotted time. Additionally, a customer service number is included for those wishing to extend their prepaid minutes. The card explicitly states it is for U.S. domestic use only and features a printed expiration date of 12/31/95, reflecting the era when this collectible card was active or exchangeable.

The branding and collectible appeal of this card, combined with Ken Schrader’s image, evoke a time when NASCAR was expanding its fan base and sponsors like Budweiser were strongly associated with the sport. This card serves as a nostalgic snapshot of 1990s American auto racing culture, illustrating the intersection of sports, advertising, and everyday technology of that period. It is a collectible item that appeals to both racing fans and enthusiasts of vintage telecommunications memorabilia, blending entertainment, utility, and collectibility in a compact form.
