Description:

This set of collectible phone cards features Frank Thomas, the legendary baseball player famously associated with the Chicago White Sox. These limited-edition cards, issued by Ameritech as prepaid calling cards, uniquely combine sports memorabilia with vintage telecommunications. The set includes two cards, distinguished by their prepaid calling times of 25 and 50 minutes. Each card prominently displays Frank Thomas, making them appealing to both baseball enthusiasts and collectors of sports memorabilia.

The 50-minute card depicts Frank Thomas in mid-swing, captured with an intense, focused expression that highlights his renowned skill at the plate. The design features a deep blue background that contrasts with the oval frame surrounding his image. The card is accented with gold trim around the player’s name and the phrase "Limited Edition Collectors Card," giving it a premium, collectible appearance. The Ameritech logo and "PrePaid" label are positioned in the top left corner, indicating both its practical use and collectible value.

The 25-minute card offers a more personal, candid scene of team camaraderie. It shows Frank Thomas smiling broadly while interacting with a teammate wearing eye black—an understated nod to the grit and preparation of baseball players. The background features a grassy baseball field, adding context and atmosphere to the scene. Like the other card, it bears the Ameritech branding and indicates its limited edition status, emphasizing its dual role as a functional phone card and a desirable collectible. The thoughtful combination of imagery and text appeals to fans who appreciate the sport and its stars.

The reverse side of each card provides prepaid phone instructions, clearly explaining how to use the card for local and long-distance calls through Ameritech and partner carriers such as MCI, Worldcom, and AT&T. It includes an account number, customer service contact information, and details about calling limits. Notably, each card has a large glue spot on the back, a common feature in vending or display cards. Each card is part of a limited run— for example, the serial number indicates 534 out of 1,100—highlighting their rarity and desirability among collectors. Together, these two cards blend the allure of a baseball legend with the nostalgia of prepaid phone services, creating a unique and collectible hybrid.
