This is the HOLY GRAIL of Metrocard Collecting.
This set is UNOPENED, in its original presentation envelope with the Silver embossed seal.
I ordered these directly from the MTA after they announced that they were cutting the initial run from 20,000 sets to 4,000.  It turns out that they probably made and sold even less than the 4,000!!
While others may be "rarer" in terms of quantity...this is THE  Inaugural Set...the one that started it...the oldest....Numero UNO...and the equivalent of  the Topps 52 Mantle card for Metrocard collectors.  Without this one, the  collection cannot be complete, no matter what the collecting ground-rules  are!!
In the original envelope with the SEAL unopened...so while 4,000 were  intended to be issued, probably many of them were opened and quite a few used  due to the size of the "face value" of the original set  (.25) and its selling price from the MTA of .
MANY were used, MOST were  opened, VERY FEW of these UNOPENED with the ORIGINAL "Die Stamped" Sticker are  left.  The ULTIMATE MetroCard Collectible when you combine SCARCITY, the 4  Cards, the FIRST ISSUE and the Condition in UNOPENED ENVELOPE with Silver Seal  INTACT. When introduced in 1993/1994 the MetroCard changed the way New Yorkers used  Public Transportation. I have scanned MY set which was opened several years ago.  THIS ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON IS SEALED, IN ITS ORIGINAL, PRINTED ENVELOPE  (COMPLETE WITH FULLY EMBOSSED METALLIC SILVER FOIL SEAL).
Set is in a PROTECTED, CLEAR VINYL Holder with 4 MetroCards and a  Letter from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Chairman and CEO Peter  Stangl. ALL 4 denominations are here: .25, .00, .00 and .00. ALL 4 are  INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED and have "INAUGURAL LIMITED EDITION" printed on the back.  The Prominent New York City Landmarks Pictured are: NYC SKYLINE (with the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center), GRAND CENTRAL  STATION, WORLD FINANCIAL CENTER and TIMES SQUARE.
PLEASE do NOT let the Doors of THIS listing Close and Leave you Behind.  Like the NYC Subways "You Never Know" when another will come again.
Price includes PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING, carefully packed with a Delivery Confirmation.
