The Fernleaf Butter card was produced for a joint
promotion by Telecom and the Fernleaf Butter Company of Auckland. In
1989, Fernleaf launched a series of highly acclaimed television
commercials
featuring the "Fernleaf Family" in a mini series of
commercial soap operas revolving around the life of this separated
family. There was a competition for consumers to complete
the saga, and
there were 200 prizes of $50 Telephone Cards, with the other 800 sold to
collectors via a draw associated with the purchase of a
Summer
Sport Collector Pack.
This card was overprinted on unsold stock
of the $50 Commonwealth Games card, and was only available in the
Collector Pack
NZ-CP-2. |
