Description:

This collectible phone card features a striking front design centered around two plush teddy bears, set against a vibrant magenta background that immediately captures attention. The bear on the left faces forward, showcasing soft white fur and playful deep purple arms that create a charming contrast. It wears a gentle smile and has “2006” embroidered on its left ear, anchoring it to a specific year. Its chest proudly displays the inscription “South Dakota 1889” alongside the number “40,” commemorating South Dakota’s 40th anniversary of statehood. The bear’s right paw features an embroidered American flag, while the sole of its left foot is marked with a red symbol resembling a small, abstract figure—possibly a nod to regional cultural heritage or symbolic iconography.

The bear on the right faces backward, allowing viewers to appreciate the embroidered patch on its back. This patch appears to be a detailed emblem related to South Dakota or the Quarter Bears series, featuring an intricate landscape or symbolic design primarily in golden yellow with blue highlights. Surrounding the patch is text—though somewhat difficult to read—that likely emphasizes the commemorative nature of the piece. Together, these two bears embody the spirit of South Dakota, blending plush toy charm with historical significance, enhanced by the commemorative stamp.

Above the bears, “QUARTER BEARS™” is prominently printed, with the subtitle “South Dakota 1889” acknowledging the statehood year. Beneath this, in bright yellow, is the phrase “COMMEMORATIVE PREPAID PHONE CARDS.” The lower section of the card provides standard phone card details: it’s a five-minute AT&T card designed for use within the United States, Canada, and select Caribbean regions. To the right, beneath a small South Dakota state quarter depicting four historic figures—including Lewis and Clark—is the recognizable AT&T globe logo, reinforcing the telecommunication theme.

Turning the card over reveals the back, which has a more utilitarian design but remains essential. The background is white, featuring a magnetic stripe near the top—a necessary component for card operation. Below the stripe are clear instructions on how to activate and use the card, including spaces for entering a phone number, access code, and PIN. Fine print outlines terms and conditions, providing a legal framework for use while disclaiming certain liabilities. The back’s straightforward, practical design contrasts with the vibrant front, but it is vital for the card’s primary function as a prepaid phone card.
