Description:

This set of four collectible MetroCards from New York City’s MTA features iconic American landmarks and highlights key architectural and historical symbols of the city. Each card is part of a “Third Limited Edition” series, dated December 31, 1995. The cards showcase detailed photographic images against a deep blue sky, emphasizing the grandeur and distinctive design of each landmark.

The first card displays the Chrysler Building, an art deco skyscraper known for its stainless steel crown and ornate detailing. The close-up photograph highlights the geometric patterns and pointed arches near the building’s top, capturing its unique architectural features that define the New York City skyline.

The second card features the Empire State Building, framed by nearby older and modern buildings. This image shows the skyscraper’s iconic spire reaching skyward under clear blue skies. The third card depicts the Guggenheim Museum with its famous white, spiraling concrete structure seen from a low angle, emphasizing the building’s smooth curves and modernist design by architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

The fourth card presents the twin towers of the World Trade Center before their destruction, shown from street level looking up. The ultra-tall, rectangular towers dominate the frame with their vertically lined facades, illustrating their monumental scale and significance as towering symbols of New York City’s financial district. Each card clearly names the featured landmark and marks it “Third Limited Edition,” making this set a focused tribute to New York City's architectural and cultural heritage.

Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
