Description:

This collectible phone card prominently showcases promotional material for "The Martin Short Show," a comedy series that aired on NBC. The design centers on a close-up image of Martin Short, captured in a charming, slightly mischievous pose with a warm smile. His expression perfectly reflects the playful, comedic spirit of the show. Dressed in a dark blazer over a blue shirt, Short’s casual yet lively appearance appeals to fans of his unique humor. The photo is set against a deep blue background with subtle texture, creating a rich contrast that highlights the card’s other elements.

To the right of Short’s image, the show’s title is boldly displayed in large, white sans-serif font. The word “the” appears in smaller letters above “Martin Short,” while “show” is positioned just below in a slightly smaller size, keeping the focus on the comedian’s name. The classic NBC peacock logo sits in the bottom-right corner beneath the text, linking the program to the network’s trusted brand. The card also clearly indicates the show’s time slot—Tuesdays at 8:30/7:30 PM—making it easy for viewers to know when to watch.

In the upper right corner, the Sprint logo identifies the telecommunications sponsor, connecting the phone card to Sprint’s brand and their promotion of free calling time. Below the logo, the card offers “10 minutes free calling,” a valuable feature during the 1990s when prepaid phone cards were widely used for long-distance calls. Near the upper left corner, a disclaimer states “No celebrity endorsement implied,” clarifying the promotional intent while upholding ethical marketing standards.

The card’s overall design balances functionality with promotion. The vibrant colors of the NBC peacock and the bright red Sprint logo add visual interest without overshadowing Martin Short’s image. Reflecting mid-1990s graphic style, the design combines network branding with emerging telecom services. As a collectible, this phone card serves as both a nostalgic piece of television history and a reminder of how fans engaged with media and communication technology during that era.
