Valiant Phone Cards

bobby97801 · Post by **bobby97801** » Tue Jan 04, 2022 5:41 pm

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here has found any of the phone cards that Valiant put out in the 90's? If you did, where did you find them? I have looked for decades with no luck. I would love to buy them and finish my collection of them. Thanks in advance.
Bobby

I remember the phone cards, they were solicited in Previews during the Acclaim VH2 days. And I saw some Quantum & Woody phonecards on ebay once but that was yearssssss ago - and sadly I didn't buy them. All I can advise is to keep an eye/search on ebay. They're highly scarce for sure, good luck with the hunt - that's part of the fun!

I've never had any luck finding any.

Besides the uncut sheet I found, I have never seen any for sale. They seem impossible to find.

Picked up 5 x Quantum and Woody and 1 x Trinity Angel Acclaim phone card. EBay seller said they were 1:600 (Q&W covers 1-4) and Q&W and Trinity Angel variant covers 1:300, does this sound about right for the ratio?

Did they release phone cards for all of the Acclaim characters eg XO, Ninjak etc

It's what the cards say on their back -- not exactly sure whether it means there were xxx of those (meant to be) produced or if there were 1 of those in each xxx issues? Then, of course, the available ones are just prototypes. Do any exist that don't state "PROTOTYPE" but have a card/serial number printed on the back?

Yeah just checked it does say 1:300 & 1:600 on the back of the cards and ‘prototype’. Does that mean I can’t have my 10 minutes of US domestic phone time??

On phone cards (back in the day) these weren't ratios. They were "1 of ### made" codes.
1:300 and 1:600 would be "1 of 300 made" and "1 of 600 made".

Nice find..... I have been looking for years for them.

Isn’t that what a ratio is?

I don’t know how to post pictures here, someone explained it once and it sounded convoluted.

Not in the comic book world.

If something is 1:300 in comics, it means there's (supposed to be) 1 for every 300 (of something else) printed, not exactly 300 printed.

If there are 30,000 regular editions, then a 1:300 ratio would mean that 100 were printed, not 300.
1:600 as a ratio would mean that only 50 were made.

In phone cards, 1:300 means they made 300.
1:600 means they made 600.

I've never heard of these Valiant phone cards and I was pretty up to date with Acclaim. Love the photo of them. Very cool.

Doh!! Schoolboy error from me I wasn’t in ‘thinking mode’!

I obviously knew that, let’s call it an off day!

These definitely would have had a home in my Valiant binder for years, had I known they existed. I've never seen them before....
