🏒 Interesting hockey history find this week: the New York Rangers were the first pro sports team to appear on a MetroCard.
Following their 1994 Stanley Cup win, the MTA issued five Rangers MetroCards as a limited edition collector set. Only 10,000 sets were issued.
The set included:
- The Stanley Cup with a Rangers logo
- A team photo
- Brian Leetch on the ice
- Mark Messier celebrating
- Mark Messier with the Stanley Cup
A few cards from this set are on display at the nytransitmuseum’s ‘FAREwell, MetroCard’ exhibit 🚊
