Description:
This collectible phone card prominently showcases the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, illustrated in a bold, cartoonish style. Rendered in black and gray tones, the bridge stands out sharply against a vivid red-orange sky, evoking the glow of dawn or dusk. Below, a stretch of blue water highlights the bridge’s strong silhouette, while a thin yellow border frames the card, adding a polished and distinctive edge.
At the center, striking text emphasizes the card’s origin and purpose. The top features “GREATER NEW YORK COUNCILS” in black capital letters, with “BROOKLYN, NEW YORK” in blue beneath it, firmly anchoring the card to its regional scouting group. To the left, “$10 PHONE CARD” denotes its value and function. Along the bottom, large white letters spell out “BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA,” clearly identifying the sponsoring organization.
The Brooklyn Bridge depicted is instantly recognizable by its suspension design, featuring tall rectangular towers and diagonal cables. Subtle detail at the bridge’s base includes the Boy Scouts’ emblem—a colorful fleur-de-lis with an eagle—contrasting against the grayscale structure. This emblem links the bridge to the scouting organization, symbolizing strength, unity, and American heritage.
Overall, the card combines Americana with organizational pride. Its bright, minimalist color palette and clean, cartoon-like lines create an artistic yet practical design, appealing to collectors and supporters of the Boy Scouts in the Greater New York area. This phone card captures both the spirit of New York’s urban landscape and the enduring tradition of scouting in a visually compelling way.
Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
