Description:

This set of five NYNEX collectible phone cards features stylized artwork of iconic New York City street signs, each prominently displayed on green street signposts. The cards showcase “5 Ave,” “Canal St,” “Wall St,” “42 St,” and “Broadway,” capturing well-known locations in Manhattan. Each card displays the NYNEX logo in the upper left corner and a $5 value marker in the upper right or lower corners.

The backgrounds of the cards are designed with artistic, abstract illustrations representing crowds of people. The "5 Ave" card uses a composition of outlined figures in varying pastel colors on a white background. “Canal St” features two abstract human figures—one wearing a blue cap and the other in a green and red polka-dot outfit—set against a backdrop of bright reds, yellows, and blues. The “Wall St” card shows people in shades of blue, purple, and white, with one figure wearing glasses and an NEC Card Services logo on the right side. The “42 St” card is decorated with colorful, indistinct crowd shapes in numerous hues like blue, pink, orange, and green, along with a blue border including a numeric scale. The “Broadway” card features a more muted palette of abstract blobs of color, concentrated mostly in blues, greens, and purples, with “NYNEX CHANGE CARD®” and the $5 denomination printed along the bottom edge.

Together, these five cards form the Signs of The Times: Street Signs in New York set, combining travel themes and artistic representation of the city’s vibrant atmosphere with the recognizable street sign imagery central to New York City’s identity. The logos for NYNEX and other telecommunication lines such as Innovative TeleCom Corp and NEC Card Services reinforce the cards’ issuer origin.
