It looks like their most recent release is no exception. For their latest drop, Supreme collaborated with [New York City’s Metro Transit Authority](http://time.com/4660587/new-york-subway-swastika-hand-sanitizer/), on custom branded Supreme fare cards, which caused [pandemonium](https://twitter.com/WhereToCop/status/833829033943121921) when the cards became available for sale on Monday at the Supreme store and NYC subway stations. > [](https://twitter.com/TheSnobette/status/834057345202204672) In the tradition of Supreme markups, individual cards (which retail for $5.50) are being resold for [prices from $38 to as much as $98 online, which is nearly 17 times the purchase cost](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Supreme-Nyc-Metrocard-Metro-Card-MTA-Ss17-2017-/122366221914?hash=item1c7d985e5a:g:LukAAOSwdGFYq7k7). Because the Supreme resell market thrives off limited edition status and supply and demand, prices could climb — especially since MTA noted that they may be sold out of the Supreme fare cards. > [](https://twitter.com/NYCTSubway/status/833877332985335808) Supreme MTA Cards Ebay ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4677757/supreme-mta-fare-cards-subway-nyc/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4677757/supreme-mta-fare-cards-subway-nyc/"},"headline":"Here's Why These Desirable Fashion Subway Cards Are Selling on Ebay for $100","datePublished":"2017-02-21T23:12:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:17.833Z","description":"Hypebeast bait","url":"https://time.com/4677757/supreme-mta-fare-cards-subway-nyc/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","fashion","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4677757/supreme-mta-fare-cards-subway-nyc/","name":"Here's Why These Desirable Fashion Subway Cards Are Selling on Ebay for $100"}}]}] ```
