gday everyone, just wondering if anyone can help with identifying this card i picked up yesterday, ie where's it from, year, cost etc? hope someone can help thanks , also i hope the scan works, 1st timer

well that doesnt look good

I think it was made to promote the red cross.

Cardscout,
There'a a thread to post pictures of unidentified promo cards: identi-promo. give it a shot. If you still can't post, there are a lot of IT savy people on this board that can help you.

You need to upload the picture to a picture hosting site first, and then post the URL of where the picture is on the hosting site...

Mike.

Alright guys, here's the image at long last

I believe that this is one of three promos for "Borenstein - Art of Curves" from Limerock, 1994"

Just further info on Bill's comment, its a set of six, 3 different pictures with two different back styles.I have all six and the 3 cards with the lighter colored backs have a darker front coloring to the 3 with the darker backs.

Here's the front of the other two pictures

and here's the two back types

I'm not sure its from Lime Rock though as the cards show no manufacturers name perhapsBill you are thinking of the phone cards by Lime Rock with the same title.

Darn it, now I am going to have to pull the cards and see what backs I do have so I can add the others to my needs list...

According to PCE, the cards are from Infinity Card Company, and as John mentions, there were Phone cards from Lime Rock as well.

Mike.

I have both versions.

Lime Rock? See what happens when I don't consult PCE?

Actually I believe that I have a couple of hologram cards, stamped "Promo" that were produced by Lime Rock so I must have assumed that these 3 promos were also from Lime Rock. I've had those promos mis-cataloged in my database for 13 years! I'm not home at the moment and I am working off a mobile copy of my database. If I misstated anything here then I will re-post tonight after I pull out my "good girl" binder.

It's amazing how one persons simple request for help in identifying one card has caused at least one or more of the seasoned promo collectors to revisit their collection to review how they perceive it. Is this normal?

Cardscout182 glad to have been of help.

I think it is normal to pursue truth over perception. Knowledge is power.

thanks to bill, mike, john and all the others who viewed and contributed to my quest, yes it is great that one person seeking knowledge, starts a chain reaction of promo research, by the way the package that came the other day included the hard to find, Al Lewis for Govenor, plus about 10 other great rare promos BIG WOOHOO!!!
