Vintage Mémophone 3672 phone card 50 units collector

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Chip phone card, "Mémophone 3672" edition, presented here in a version visibly intended for the French market. The front features colorful graphics, with abstract patterns blending vibrant shades of red, yellow, green, and blue, forming a dynamic artistic backdrop. The text "Mémophone 3672" takes center stage, with a striking and modern font, while the "Télécarte 50" box at the bottom right specifies the card's original capacity (50 units).

The medium has a smooth finish, typical of French chip cards from the late 20th century. The golden chip is clearly visible on the left side, characteristic of phone cards used in public telephone booths. The overall design, combining the logo and numbering, evokes a 1990s aesthetic, both in its typographic choice and its vibrant color palette and abstract graphic style.

The card is in a standard rectangular format, with rounded corners, and no apparent cutouts or relief on the visible side. The patterns are printed directly onto the medium, with no noticeable texture effects or overprinting in the photo. The colors remain vibrant and well-contrasted, suggesting good preservation of the print and the medium.

The inscriptions are clear and legible: "Mémophone" at the top, "3672" large in the center, and "Télécarte 50" in a white box at the bottom right. No other text or logo is visible on this side. No major defects, chips, or significant scratches appear on the photographed surface, apart from slight traces of use consistent with a used card.

This type of card, also called a "chip phone card" or "phonecard," was mainly used in France in the 80s and 90s to make calls from public booths. Its collector's appeal is enhanced by the "Mémophone" thematic edition, sought after for its distinctive graphics and 50-unit capacity.

Condition: Used item sold as is. Some minor traces of use may be observed, without altering the readability or integrity of the visible side.

Did you know? Chip phone cards, introduced in France in the 1980s by France Télécom, gradually replaced telephone tokens and allowed for more precise billing of communications. Special editions, like the "Mémophone" series, were often produced in limited quantities and are now sought after for their original visuals and historical value in the history of telecommunications.
