Dynamic Entertainment issued a range of Vampirella phone cards in the mid to late 1990s.
These days, with the popularity of mobile phones, phone cards are a relic of the not too
distant past - a good idea, but a short lived one.
Some of the cards also have a "prototype" version. The story goes that these
were made as samplers for the main cards before they went into production, and are the same
as the regular card with the exception of the price on the front and the card number on
the back.
I don't know how many of these prototypes were made, but I managed to get one for each
of the $3.00 cards and the $20.00 card with relative ease, which would suggest that they
aren't that rare ...
I don't know if there are prototypes available for the $10.00 cards. I would assume that
there are some out there somewhere I just haven't seen them (yet)!
The backs of the cards are very similar. To the right I have shown the backs of a regular
and a prototype card (from the Vampirella Zero card).
NOTE: The pictures shown of the cards are full size. |
