New Yorkers flocked to subway stations when the MTA announced the sale of 50,000 commemorative Notorious B.I.G. MetroCards. Some of those lucky enough to buy cards are now trying to resell them for as much as $10,000 on eBay. While there are 20 sellers hoping to rake in $1,000 or more for a Biggie MetroCard, most seem to be selling the cards for prices in the $50 range. One seller started bids at just $10.
