Description:

This collectible phone card features a vibrant magenta background and centers around the "Quarter Bears" series commemorating Washington in 1889. The design prominently displays two green teddy bears sitting side by side. The bear on the left faces forward, showcasing detailed embroidery on its chest that reads "George 42," likely referencing George Washington and the year Washington became a state or possibly indicating the 42nd item in the series. This bear also prominently displays an American flag patch on its left foot, reinforcing the patriotic theme. The bear on the right is turned away, revealing a circular patch on its back embroidered with the official seal of Washington State, which includes an image of George Washington and intricate lettering. The contrasting front and back views of the bears effectively highlight multiple design elements of this collectible item.

To the right of the bears, a prominent depiction of the 2007 Washington state quarter is featured. It shows the classic image of a salmon leaping over a river with Mount Rainier in the background. Above the quarter, the card title reads: “QUARTER BEARS™ Washington 1889,” emphasizing the historical year when Washington became a state. Below, the words “COMMEMORATIVE PREPAID PHONE CARDS” suggest the card’s dual purpose as both a collector’s item and a functional prepaid phone card. The quarter illustration ties the theme together, linking the collectible bears to the state they represent and celebrating the coin series.

Beneath the bears and quarter, essential information is printed in white and yellow text. It states that this is an “AT&T Phone Card” offering “5 Minutes of U.S. state-to-state calling,” highlighting its practical use beyond its commemorative appeal. A disclaimer notes that international and in-state rates may be higher, which is standard for prepaid phone cards of this era. Discreetly located in the bottom right corner is the AT&T logo, reinforcing brand authenticity. In the bottom left corner, copyright information credits “Timeless Toys, Inc.” with the production of this item in 2008, establishing its place in its historical context.

On the back side, the design adopts a simpler, more utilitarian approach compared to the vibrant front. It features primarily text and usage instructions printed on a white background with light gray geometric shapes that add a subtle modern texture. Key details include the dial-in phone number, card code, validity period, and instructions for initiating calls within the United States and internationally. The information is clearly organized to prevent user confusion. The presence of magnetic stripe technology and secure PIN entry instructions emphasizes the card’s transactional function, making it clear that this is primarily a telecom product with collectible appeal. Additionally, standard customer service contact numbers and brief terms and conditions are included, indicating that the card was designed to serve both as memorabilia and as a practical calling solution for travelers and collectors alike.
