Wow, not only do vendors offer delicious hot dogs and pretzels, they may also sell Metrocards! Illegaly, that is. The Daily News busts a vendor who sells Metrocards outside of Bellevue, and what's more, these Metrocards are the free ones issued by the hospital to patients so they can get to their appointments. Patients who get the cards trade them for hot dogs and soda (is that according to doctor's orders?). The Daily News asked the vendor if he knew that what he was doing was illegal and Gothamist loved his response: "I know that. Do you think I came to this country yesterday? I know how it works." It's unclear if the MTA police will be cracking down on this vendor.
But in fun Metrocard news, we stumbled upon Professor Putter's Metrocard Tricks and Experiments page. Professor Putter has all sorts of suggestions for your old, expired Metrocards (or the ones that you see on the floor by the swipers), like the Metro Bug and the Metro Shooter. We will totally make the Metrocard Ornament as our Christmas gift to everyone. And the MTA apparently okay'd this book. You can buy it on Amazon.

Sliced metrocards make good collar stays too.
how much are his cards? i wanna buy.
I have made Metrocard ornaments for years, but I have a much easier technique:
1. Place ornament hook in hole in MetroCard, the one that is already there.
2. Place on Christmas tree.
I'd link to a picture, but that involves digging out the Christmas stuff.
thank you S.D.! i've been trying to figure out how to replace my collar stays that break (admittedly sometimes due to falling asleep in my clothes) without having to try to find them somewhere or beg them from a store.
