Description

This phone card, known as a Télécarte, is a vintage illustrated edition for the 1994 Roland Garros tournament. The visible side features a deep red background, dominated by a realistic illustration of a stylized hand in full extension, an emblematic visual associated with the world of tennis. The graphics highlight a dynamic gesture, typical of the sport, with a handwritten "Roland Garros 94" signature in bright blue in the lower part.

In the upper left is the mention "Télécarte 50" on a white background, indicating a capacity of 50 units, characteristic of cards used in French public phone booths in the 1990s. The electronic chip, typical of this type of object, is clearly visible in the upper center, accompanied by a white directional arrow for insertion into the terminal.

The surface of the card has a smooth and shiny appearance, with well-preserved colors. The contrast between the red background and the realistic hand catches the eye, while the handwritten typography adds a touch of authenticity specific to Roland Garros event editions. No other text or logo is visible on this side.

The entire card displays an aesthetic characteristic of 90s design, combining artistic illustration and functional elements specific to chip phone cards of that era. No major defects are apparent on the visible side, apart from very slight marks of use on the edges, typical of a used item.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with discreet traces of wear visible on the illustrated side. The colors remain vibrant and the chip, as well as the mentions, are perfectly legible.
