Description:

This collectible phone card features a vibrant image of a hot air balloon floating against a clear blue sky during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta held in New Mexico in 1997. The balloon on the card showcases bright colors including red, orange, yellow, and purple, arranged in vertical panels converging at the top. The photograph is taken outdoors with some tree branches visible along the bottom edge, framing the balloon delicately.

The card is part of the athena 20u Regional Collector Series, specifically commemorating Albuquerque, New Mexico. The card’s design includes text that reads "ATHENA 20u REGIONAL COLLECTOR SERIES - ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO 1997" and "Strategic Telecom Sys." These elements are positioned clearly and use graphic fonts fitting the collectible nature of the card. The combination of the hot air balloon imagery and festival reference highlights the cultural significance of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta as a well-known annual event.

This card is a representation of Strategic Telecom Systems collectible phone card production. The artwork and labeling confirm its association with the regional collector series dedicated to major events and places in the United States during the late 1990s. The card’s crisp photographic quality and precise text placement make it a distinctive item for collectors interested in balloon festivals or regional event memorabilia.

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.
