Description:

These collectible phone cards are part of a promotional set issued for CardEx 1997, an international card exhibition held in Brussels, Belgium, October 24-27, 1997. Each card features detailed sepia-toned photographic images overlaid on maps marking Belgian cities and regions, emphasizing the show's location and theme. The designs integrate historical architecture and cityscape elements from Brussels, blending imagery of old buildings, city streets, and outdoor café scenes with map lines, providing a rich visual tribute to Belgium.

The first card prominently displays an outline map of Belgium with major cities labeled, set against a light brown background. The top right corner bears the USWest logo, a telecommunications company, and the bottom indicates it is a complimentary CardEx ’97 telecard valued at $1. The second card features a busy café scene with patrons seated at outdoor tables, with the word "BELGIE" faintly visible in large letters across the image. It states “KARS UNLIMITED 20 UNITS” at the top and includes the CardEx ’97 logo along the bottom. The names of Belgian cities like Brussels and Mechelen appear on the map overlay.

The third card in the set carries a Bell logo at the upper left alongside “LaPuce QuickChange $1” inside a white rounded rectangle, indicating a stored value of one dollar. The photographic image focuses on historical Brussels buildings with intricate façades and architectural details, again placed over a muted map background. The CardEx ’97 logo, the event’s date, and location are printed near the bottom. These cards collectively commemorate CardEx 1997 in Belgium and feature telecommunications companies USWest and Bell as part of the promotional collaboration.

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.
