Phonecard 50 units Concert Découverte Alain Marion Gérard Caussé vintage card

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a vintage Télécarte phone card, as shown in the photo. It is a chip card model, issued for a musical event called "concert Découverte," featuring musical scores in the background. The visible side has a dominant pearl grey and white color scheme, with navy blue and burgundy text elements, as well as a gold chip characteristic of French phone cards from that era.

The main inscriptions, perfectly legible, mention: "concert Découverte," followed by "des chanteurs, des instrumentistes, un répertoire rare" (singers, instrumentalists, a rare repertoire), then the names Alain Marion and Gérard Caussé. In the bottom right, "Télécarte 50" indicates the original capacity of 50 units. The design incorporates coiled musical staves, reinforcing the theme of a classical concert and musical discovery.

The card shows a standard rounded-corner cut, typical of French Télécartes from the 1990s. No phone brand logo is visible on the front. The gold electronic chip is well-centered, with a black arrow below for orientation in public telephone booths.

The visible surface shows no major defects: no chips, deep scratches, or excessive signs of wear perceptible in the photo. The print remains clear and the colors well-preserved, indicating good overall condition for a vintage phone card. The satin yellow fabric presentation background highlights the object without obscuring any detail of the front face.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Only the front is visible in the photo; the condition of the back is not described.

Did you know? Chip Télécartes, introduced in France in the early 1980s, gained significant popularity in the 1990s. They were used in public phone booths before the widespread adoption of mobile phones. Some themed editions, such as those dedicated to cultural or musical events, are particularly sought after for their visual appeal and limited print runs.
