I was in a 7-Eleven this morning here in New York City and overheard the cashier talking to a customer about it. The cashier said some guy came in just after the truck dropped off the papers at 6:30 or so this morning and bought all 30 copies.

I've noticed that in the past the Post sometimes has a special cover page. I assume the purpose is simply to keep the real front and back pages clean and protected. Anyway, today's edition has that special cover page with nothing more on it than a logo for some trendy (new?) fashion company called "Supreme".

Although I hadn't heard of them until today, they apparently are so wildly popular that these otherwise standard editions of the paper are selling for $7-20 bucks, at least online. Because there are plenty still at the newstands selling at the usual $1, although I suspect that as more and more people learn about this, they'd start disappearing too.

I bought a few copies myself, and now am trying to figure out how I can best profit off it. Seems clear that the people looking for these papers will be outside of NYC, as, again, there are lots still at the local newstands.

Is it just me, or has anyone else not seen a more meaningless thread here?

[Vermont Lt]

You profit by selling it on eBay, today for $3.

Two or three days from now it will be cage lining.

[Flick Lives]

I’m supremely confused.

Good. I've always enjoyed their music. Oh, wait. It's 'Supreme' and not 'Supremes'. Never mind.

[PAR35]

They left off the ending “s”. The music group was “The Supremes”.

This post is meaningless without context -

As others have ask, what is this about and why should I care?

It may very well be (culturally) important, so I will withhold judgement, but without any context to understand the post...I just don’t know.

So ... is this just a creative way for the NY Post to get more advertising money?

[yesthatjallen]

The author seems caught up in this promotional hype; or perhaps he's trying to drive the hype for the NYP and Supreme.

What is Supreme? Why does it matter so much to the writer?

[WKUHilltopper]

“Today’s New York Post will come with a Supreme promotional cover wrap. After the rumors circulated over the weekend...”

Really? That’s all they have to talk about??

I have no idea what Supreme is.

Thank you very much for the heads up. I just ran to the store and bought four to clean them out.
