NEW YORK (PIX11) – If you can’t get a limited-edition Ice Spice MetroCard at a subway station in New York City, you may be able to secure one from eBay.
MetroCards honoring the rapper and Bronx native are being resold on eBay for as much as $100. Some listings on the e-commerce site are for as low as $20 or $30.
The cost of a single subway ride is $2.90. The minimum balance for a new, regular MetroCard is $5.80, with an additional $1 fee.
Only 50,000 Ice Spice-themed MetroCards were made available to the public starting Monday. They could be obtained from select MetroCard vending machines at four MTA stations in the Bronx and Manhattan:
Fordham Road No. 4 station (The Bronx)
Fordham Road B/D station (The Bronx)
34th Street–Penn Station A/C/E station (Manhattan)
Times Square–42nd Street N/Q/R/W/S/1/2/3/7 station (Manhattan)
The MTA released photos showing people lining up to purchase the Ice Spice-themed MetroCards at subway stations.
The MTA and Capitol Records collaborated on the MetroCards ahead of the release of Ice Spice’s debut album, “Y2K.”
