Mercury Phone Cards<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Mercury Company, located in the UK, was the first UK company to produce phonecards. Their first cards were two sets of phone cards; the TOS set of 11 and a TNG set of 20. Each set came with a binder (red for TNG and blue for TOS) and a series of Data (information) sheets that the phone cards slipped into. The company stopped releasing the sheets before the series was complete, so their successor, Subspace Communications, offered a commemorative set of the sheets to preferred customers in 1998. The two binders came with a bonus crew card. (the 11th and 21st card in the set, a crew shot. The TOS set is considered Volume I and the TNG set is Volume III. Volume II, a movie series, was not produced.
\nThe Mercury Generations card was produced in 1994 and limited to 10,000. While this card was in production, Mercury stopped producing phone cards, so this is the last of their line. Comes with a full color folder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
