The mighty hunter

I am feeling very successful this evening: I have finally found and purchased plastic metrocard holders, which had been on the shopping list for a couple of years.

I got them the same place as the previous ones, the Transit Museum shop. For a long time, they had not only not had any in stock, the staff had told me that they never would again: there were none in a warehouse, nor were they ordering more.

Looking at the MTA website this afternoon, I found a link to that shop, and started browsing. They had Metrocard holders, in a few different designs, including the aerial photo of the city that they had on metrocard holders years ago. They also wanted a flat $8 for UPS shipping. I work half a mile from Grand Central Station, so I walked up after work, found the shop, and bought eight metrocard holders. Yes, there are only two of us, but I suspect they will stop carrying them for another several years after this. Then I checked off the oldest item on my shopping list, and came home.
