Description:

These collectible cards commemorate the 100th Boston Marathon held on April 15, 1996, marking the marathon's centennial from 1897 to 1996. Each card features an artistic illustration of the Boston skyline with a waterfront scene filled with sailing boats. The artwork is rendered in a style that resembles a painted or softly blurred image, showcasing the cityscape with several tall buildings in the background and green trees lining the shoreline.

Both cards prominently display “Boston Marathon” in blue capital letters with a running silhouette incorporated between the words. The date "April 15, 1996" and the years "1897 ~ 1996" are printed above and below the marathon title. These two cards include unit values of 5 units on one card and 20 units on the other, indicated in the upper right corner in blue and gold text respectively.

The lower left corner contains the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) logo, which includes a unicorn, a symbol associated with the association. The bottom right corner features the logo and name “Long’s Thomas Long Company Fine Jewelers” in gold script. The word "Fontaine" appears centered near the bottom, indicating the artist or design series. These cards are part of the artistic Boston Skyline set celebrating the milestone marathon event in 1996.
