Grestede’s and Sloan’s Supermarkets metrocard was issued in 1996 to promote opening of new store of this supermarket chain on Broadway. All cards were given out to passerby and almost all of them were probably lost. Circulation is unknown to me, I could only guess that it is no more than 1,000 – 2,000.
