There were only 25 sets of these nine cards produced with Concard #1 -
#9 overprinted. They consist of 6x$5, a $2, a$10 and a $20.
They were
issued by a school teacher from Christchurch by the name of Alan Parris.
He was a keen phonecard collector, but thought overprinted cards were a
scam, so he did the Concard International to show up the scam.
However
the joke was on Alan, as they were so popular, he could have sold many
more than he made.
As you can see from the above images, when the nine
cards were fitted together, they read YOU MUG. Who really was the mug!! |
