Description:

This collection features a complete set of 62 different collectible prepaid telecom cards, each depicting vintage U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of the Interior Migratory Bird Hunting Stamps, commonly known as duck stamps. These cards, issued by Gold Star, showcase detailed images of various waterfowl such as ducks, geese, and mergansers in naturalistic settings, primarily in flight or at rest near wetlands. Each card displays a facsimile of the original migratory bird hunting stamp featuring a specific year and a "Void After" date ranging from 1935 to 1996. The stamps include denomination values primarily of one, two, three, five, seven fifty, ten, twelve fifty, and fifteen dollars, reflecting the original annual prices for purchasing these permits.

Design elements on each card replicate the vintage stamp designs with bird species and often include the specific species name, such as “American Merganser,” “Ross’ Geese,” “Nene Goose,” “Ring-Necked Duck,” and “Emperor Geese,” among others. The stamps also carry inscriptions such as “U.S. Department of the Interior” or “U.S. Department of Agriculture,” and phrases like "Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp" and “Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp.” Artistic styles vary from engraved etchings to highly detailed colored illustrations showing ducks in flight, swimming, or in natural habitat. Additional historic details like the year of invalidation, dollar value, and hunting-related text are clearly printed on each card, alongside a Gold Star logo and numbering aligned vertically on the right side panel.

The cards are bordered by a perforation design mimicking the look of postage stamps. The right border of each card is a colored strip that includes a duck silhouette or shape with a number indicating the sequence in this set, the "$5" price displayed in the upper corner, and the Gold Star logo along with the "Pt" or phone card logo at the bottom. This set provides a distinct representation of American migratory bird hunting permit stamps spanning more than six decades, preserved in a series of collectible prepaid telecom cards.

Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
