Description:

This collectible phone card serves as a vibrant tribute to the University of Kentucky Wildcats, specifically honoring two of the school's all-time leading basketball scorers. The card features a bold, textured background in purple and pink, with the university’s name—"UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY WILDCATS"—prominently displayed at the top in uppercase white lettering outlined in blue, making it stand out. The phrase “GREAT MOMENTS SERIES” is similarly emphasized at the bottom, highlighting the card’s commemorative purpose. On the left and right sides, the years 1983 and 1970 are displayed, hinting at the eras associated with the featured athletes.

Centered on the card are two black-and-white headshots, framed by a deep violet hue that contrasts with the background. On the left is Valerie Still, celebrated for her remarkable basketball career, with “2763 Points” noted beneath her image, marking her as the leading scorer. She sports a confident smile, with short hair framing her face, conveying warmth and determination. On the right is Dan Issel, another notable player, with “2138 Points” beneath his portrait. His expression is more serious, reflecting a focused and resilient athlete.

Between their images, the phrase “All-time Leading Scorers” is displayed in bold, golden-yellow letters with a subtle red shadow, drawing attention to the card’s central theme. The inscription “10 unit telecard” just above this phrase indicates the card’s original function as a phone card, adding a nostalgic element to its collectible appeal. The lower left corner features the University of Kentucky logo alongside a small telephone receiver emblem, emphasizing the card’s official status and usage. The overall layout is balanced, with carefully aligned years, text, and images, creating an eye-catching keepsake that honors these basketball legends.

The back of the card is practical and typical of collectible phone cards from its era. It has a plain white background with black, typewritten instructions likely related to its use—such as how to operate the card for making phone calls, including inserting or swiping it to access phone credit. A small logo or emblem at the top may represent the issuer or telecommunications company. Toward the bottom, a magnetic strip is present, which was essential for the card’s function as a telecard. The overall design is minimalist, prioritizing utility over aesthetics, providing a stark contrast to the colorful, celebratory front side.
