Description:

This collectible chip card features a design dedicated to the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team. The card has a bright yellow background with a prominent illustration of a snake coiled around a baseball diamond. The snake’s body is patterned in a way that mimics the distinctive markings associated with a diamondback rattlesnake. The team name "Diamondbacks" is displayed prominently in stylized lettering near the top of the card.

In addition to the baseball and snake imagery, the card includes text indicating its association with the 1998 inaugural season of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The card denotes a stored value of $1 and includes the word "Sample," indicating it is a sample version rather than a commercial issuance. The logos and text "U.S. West" and "G&D" appear clearly, linking the card to U.S. West Communications, which was a division of WorldCom, and the manufacturer Giesecke & Devrient, a known producer of smart cards and chip cards.

The card is a smart card with a visible chip embedded near the top left corner, emphasizing its functionality as a stored-value card. The combination of sports imagery, company branding, and monetary value mark the card as a collectible piece related to the intersection of baseball, telecommunications, and smart card technology from the late 1990s. The card’s clean layout and sharp printing confirm it as an official sample item commemorating the Arizona Diamondbacks’ debut season in Major League Baseball.
