Description:

This collectible phone card features a vivid, picturesque image of the Edmonton, Alberta skyline set against a clear blue sky. The scene suggests an autumn setting, highlighted by the turning foliage in the foreground. The skyline showcases a rich tapestry of modern architecture, with tall contemporary skyscrapers and mid-rise buildings that define Edmonton’s urban character. Framed by natural elements like golden and green trees, the image emphasizes Edmonton’s seamless blend of city life and surrounding natural beauty. Near the bottom left of the image, the card prominently displays the text "Edmonton, Alberta," clearly indicating the location depicted.

The artwork is dominated by notable buildings that offer insight into Edmonton’s thriving downtown core. The scene evokes the feeling of sightseeing in a vibrant Canadian city—an experience familiar to travelers who enjoy the combination of urban culture and scenic views. Adding to the city’s charm are visible walkways and a river, suggesting opportunities for leisure activities such as boat tours or riverside strolls, which enhance Edmonton’s reputation as a city with stunning natural and architectural contrasts. Overall, the image is inviting and appeals to collectors who appreciate detailed cityscape imagery.

In the top left corner of the card, the AGT (Alberta Government Telephones) logo signifies its connection to the province’s telecommunication history. To the right, the card features the text "HELLO! phone pass" in a colorful yet professional font that draws attention without detracting from the scenic image. At the bottom right, the value "$20" is clearly marked, indicating the prepaid amount and reflecting its original use for phone services during a time when phone cards were a convenient means for travelers and residents to make calls.

The lower half of the image shows the reverse side of the card, which provides practical instructions for using the "HELLO!" phone pass. These instructions detail dialing procedures from both Touch-Tone phones and card reader payphones, including toll-free numbers for activation and calls within Canada and to the United States. The presence of customer support contact numbers, along with a magnetic stripe for card reading, situates this piece within the technological context of the late 20th century—before the widespread adoption of mobile phones. Marked "SEALED!", the card remains a preserved relic of communication history and a collectible reflecting Edmonton’s urban landscape and Canada’s telecommunication past.
