Future Call/TEC produced several sets of phone cards. The company released cards in both the US and Canada. Unlike regular phone cards with long distance minutes on them, these cards were used to allow access to an 800 number that gave information/interviews and such about their favorite stars.
Generations phone card set
The first was a set of Generations cards There were 13 10 unit phone cards. The set was also produced on a limited basis with the only difference being 20 units rather than 10 units marked on front. Perhaps due to the fact that the difference between the two was so slight, these didn’t sell well and many sets never left the warehouse. Each of these sets are limited to 2,500. Future Call also released a binder for the Generations cards.There were several promo and bonus cards for this set; a 10 Unit Two Captain’s cards, a 60 unit Two Captain’s cards and a 10 unit and 30 unit Movie Poster card.
There were also three oversized phone cards- Kirk and Picard with Nexus phone card, Kirk and Picard with Ent-D and Generations Movie teaser poster and are limited to 5,000. These cards also came in a signed by Shatner and Stewart and unsigned version.
Also released was a $20 (rather than 20 unit) Generations phone card and a $20 Kirk, Picard and Nexus card.
