Description:

This collectible $10 HELLO! Phone Pass card captures a dynamic moment from the 1996 Olympics basketball tournament, highlighting Canada's presence in the sport during those games. The design features an action shot of a female Canadian basketball player mid-air, poised to make a jump shot or layup. She is fully engaged in the game, wearing the classic white Team Canada uniform emblazoned with “CANADA” across the chest, symbolizing national pride. Her athleticism is emphasized by her upward stretch and focused expression, embodying the intense competition and spirit of Olympic basketball.

Behind her, two female players from Puerto Rico, identifiable by their maroon jerseys with “Puerto Rico” printed on them, attempt to defend against her shot. The player in the foreground, wearing number 10, watches intently as the Canadian player leaps toward the basket. The blurred background suggests a packed arena filled with spectators, capturing the energy and enthusiasm that the Olympics bring to basketball fans worldwide. This image freezes a split second of competitive sport, highlighting the international rivalry and camaraderie characteristic of Olympic basketball.

To the right of the card, the iconic emblem of the 1996 Olympics is prominently displayed. A fiery red maple leaf, representing Canada, sits above the colorful Olympic rings, symbolizing unity among nations through sport. This pairing reinforces the card’s national and global sports significance, making it a memorable artifact from that era. The card also features the $10 denomination clearly printed in the top right corner, indicating its value as a phone pass, while the phrase “Carte ALLÔ! MC” at the bottom right adds a distinctly bilingual Canadian branding touch.
