Description:

This set of collectible die-cut phone cards serves as a striking tribute to the Toronto Blue Jays and their support for Camp Oochigeas, a nonprofit camp dedicated to children with cancer. Each card is carefully designed in the shape of a baseball glove or a baseball, emphasizing a vibrant sports theme and offering a visually engaging display. Measuring approximately 5½ inches square, these cards have a substantial, tactile presence. The packaging remains sealed, preserving their condition and enhancing their appeal to collectors—especially those who support charitable causes or cherish baseball memorabilia. These cards were issued as part of a campaign to benefit Camp Oochigeas, highlighting a heartfelt connection between sports and social responsibility.

The glove-shaped cards are particularly evocative, featuring detailed imagery of a well-worn brown leather mitt. One card boldly states, “We’re making a pitch for Camp Oochigeas,” alongside the logos of Bell and the Toronto Blue Jays. This phrase cleverly ties the charitable message to baseball imagery, metaphorically equating support for the camp with pitching in the game. Another glove card proudly displays the logos of Bell and the Blue Jays as “Proud sponsors of Camp Oochigeas,” alongside the camp’s cheerful, colorful logo depicting a child paddling a canoe beneath a bright yellow sun. The stitching and shading on the glove artwork create a realistic texture, transforming these pieces from simple phone cards into artistic memorabilia.

The baseball-shaped card features a detailed print of a baseball with its iconic red stitching. One side displays a signed photograph of Blue Jays players, emphasizing the team’s genuine commitment to Camp Oochigeas. Surrounding the image, text highlights their support and reinforces the charitable message. The reverse side clearly states that the card offers “6 minutes of FREE Long Distance calling within Ontario,” complete with instructions, an expiry date of October 31, 1995, and customer service details. Logos of Bell, the Blue Jays, and Camp Oochigeas are also present, framing the practical features while maintaining the overall theme of community and support.

Overall, these collectible phone cards honor the Toronto Blue Jays while serving as a reminder of corporate social responsibility and active community involvement. The integration of the Blue Jays, Bell Canada, and Camp Oochigeas creates a unique synergy between entertainment, communication, and philanthropy. The die-cut shapes, vintage style, and sealed packaging make them a nostalgic snapshot of mid-90s sports marketing and charitable efforts. For collectors and supporters of children’s cancer causes, this limited-edition set encapsulates both generosity and fandom in a beautifully crafted package.
