Description:

This collectible phone card beautifully captures the majestic American Bald Eagle, a powerful emblem of the United States and a symbol deeply rooted in Americana and wildlife conservation. Prominently positioned on the left side of the card is a striking, high-resolution image of a bald eagle perched confidently on a branch. The eagle's piercing gaze, highlighted by its iconic white head and sharp yellow beak, stands out vividly against the lush greenery and blue sky background, emphasizing its regal presence in the wild. This eagle is more than just a symbol; it represents ongoing efforts to protect endangered species, a theme celebrated as part of the "Endangered Species Series." The detailed feathers and tense posture convey both the beauty and alertness of this magnificent bird.

To the right of the eagle, the card features a deep, rich blue background that pays homage to both the American flag and the open skies through which eagles soar. Dominating this section is a bright, bold depiction of the U.S. flag—a crisp emblem of patriotism that underscores the card’s theme. Below the flag, the words "ISSUED 07/04/96" are printed in yellow, marking the release date of this collectible—an insightful nod aligning the phone card with Independence Day and reinforcing its Americana appeal. Adjacent to this, in the same yellow hue for visual consistency, is the denomination "$50," highlighting the card’s value as a premium telecard from that era.

The left edge of the card is bordered by a rich red stripe bearing the vertical text "ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES," immediately alerting collectors and viewers to its status as part of an exclusive series highlighting threatened wildlife. Beneath the series title, the bold yellow words "BALD EAGLE" emphasize the subject of this patriotic tribute. This design choice not only draws attention but also seamlessly integrates with the symbolic significance of the eagle—the national bird and a poignant reminder of conservation successes in the United States. The "S" symbol located at the bottom right corner is characteristic of telecards from the ACMI series, adding authenticity and collectible value.

In the bottom right section, the ACMI logo appears in classic red and yellow stripes, a hallmark of the company's telecard branding that lends this piece a sense of corporate history and collectible pedigree. Labeled "PROOF," this telecard suggests it may be a sample or pre-production version, further enhancing its rarity and appeal to collectors.
