Description:

This collectible phone card from Ameritech features a dynamic and stylized depiction of a soccer game frozen in a dramatic moment of action. The image showcases two soccer players engaged in an intense struggle for control of the ball. One player, dressed in a white and blue uniform with blond hair, lunges forward with a determined expression, eager to gain possession. His muscular build and focused posture suggest agility and strength as he battles for the ball. The opposing player, clad in a red uniform, counters fiercely with a slide tackle, his orange hair and vigorous movement emphasizing the tension of this athletic duel.

The background is predominantly black, enhancing contrast and making the vibrant colors of the players stand out. The players’ motion is conveyed through bold, sweeping streaks of yellow, red, and blue that trail behind their limbs, creating a vivid sense of rapid movement and energy. The soccer ball, rendered with white and black patches, appears to be spinning toward the right side of the card, highlighted by circular motion lines that add to the scene’s kinetic feel. The use of sharp, angular lines and bright hues epitomizes the graphic style of the 1990s, reflecting both the era’s design trends and the excitement of competitive sports.

At the top of the card, the Ameritech logo is prominently displayed in blue and red lettering. Directly beneath it, the stylized word “¢oin$aver” appears in white, suggesting both the card’s role as a budget-friendly calling instrument and its appeal to a broad consumer base. In the lower-left corner, a clear designation of the card’s value, "$5," indicates its worth for telephone use. Below this, a copyright mark dating the card to 1994 firmly situates it within the early 1990s telecommunications landscape, adding a tangible sense of historical context.

On the back side of the card, the layout is practical and informative, designed to meet the needs of users. The background is off-white, with printed text providing essential instructions and technical details about the card’s use. Directions for initiating a call, dialing procedures, and customer service information are presented in clear, readable type to ensure accessibility. A magnetic strip runs horizontally near the top edge, a technological feature that allows the card to be used in compatible payphones with magnetic card readers. The back’s simple design contrasts with the vibrant front imagery, focusing on utility rather than decoration, and completing the card’s dual purpose as both a collectible item and a practical telecommunications tool.
