Description:

This collectible phone card features a striking front design that prominently showcases two Quarter Bears—vivid red teddy bears commemorating West Virginia’s 1863 founding. Set against a vibrant magenta background that immediately captures attention, one bear faces forward, adorned with various emblems, including a small American flag on its right foot and the West Virginia state seal on its chest. The other bear faces backward, prominently embroidered with the West Virginia flag on its back. These symbols connect the collectible directly to the state’s rich history and identity, making it especially appealing to collectors and history enthusiasts.

In the upper right corner, the “QUARTER BEARS™ West Virginia 1863” mark emphasizes the limited edition status of this card. Just below, bold yellow lettering spells out “COMMORATIVE PREPAID PHONE CARDS,” highlighting its dual purpose—not only a collectible but also a functional phone card. The bears are detailed with markings and dates, such as “2005” on the left bear’s head and other numeric codes on its body, adding authenticity and significance. The artistic craftsmanship of the teddy bears combines nostalgia with a tribute to history, transforming this item from a simple phone card into a piece of Americana.

To the right of the bears, a coin-like image mimics the 2005 West Virginia state quarter, part of the U.S. Mint’s 50 State Quarters program. This depiction features the New River Gorge Bridge, an iconic West Virginia landmark, with “WEST VIRGINIA 1863” inscribed above and “New River Gorge” below the bridge. This detail reinforces the historical theme while creating a visual link between the Quarter Bears branding and the actual quarter design, uniting the collectible’s theme with tangible elements of U.S. currency and state pride.

At the bottom of the card, the practical aspect is highlighted: it is a prepaid phone card providing five minutes of AT&T service. The note “Within the U.S./Can. and Carib. rates vary” clarifies the service boundaries, appealing to users needing short-distance calling. The AT&T logo lends credibility and emphasizes the telecommunications aspect, complementing the playful collectible design with corporate reliability. Overall, the card offers a charming blend of historical tribute, collectible appeal, and functional use, all wrapped in vivid colors and thoughtful design.

The back of the card, equally important for its functionality, features a clean white background with printed text and barcode details. It provides essential instructions for using the prepaid AT&T service, including dialing access numbers, entering a PIN, and contacting customer support. Terms and conditions—such as expiration dates, service limitations, and redemption or balance inquiry procedures—are also included. The barcode, crucial for activation and tracking, is clearly displayed for scanning. This side maintains a minimalistic design, prioritizing clear communication over decoration, and underscores the card’s practical telecommunications purpose behind its collectible front.
