Barbara Kruger-designed MetroCards

As soon as I arrived in New York I headed straight to Broadway-Lafayette Street subway station by foot.
The reason being to buy this Barbara Kruger-designed MetroCard.
Significant considering what Supreme just put out?
Although the project is linked to an art event, it’s also become something of a souvenir, and as soon as I ask staff at the station whether they’re still available, they answer “I don’t know”.
On investigation, maybe​ ​the plan is for them to be available if you’re lucky with vending machines​ ​somehow.
I bought the first one I saw and naturally the one that come out was the normal version. I wonder if they’re still available?
Wonder if they’re selling them somewhere properly? After all, it’s quite a leap to sell them at Harlem or Queens stations later on.
