"A true collector's item, this is something to gift to your family, your kids, your grandchildren," a beaming Trump said of the suit in a video announcing the latest NFT line.
These rare cards are expected to be awarded at random.
The card reportedly will feature a piece of fabric from the suit the former president wore when he had his mug shot taken after being indicted on election interference charges in August.
The suit was reportedly authenticated by Memorabilia Evaluation and Research Services before being inserted into the trading cards.

Trump has said he will also sign some of the physical cards.
The NFT collector's items feature images of Trump that are digitally altered to show the former president holding lightning bolts, in a military uniform, or dressed as a gladiator.
"Some people call these cards pop art or modern art... They give me muscles where believe me, I don't have them," Trump added.
Buyers must purchase all 47 digital cards in order to obtain the physical one, which comes to a grand total of $4,653.

There are only 2,024 physical cards available in this release.
Buyers can expect to receive the physical trading card within 90 days of their purchase.
In a post to his social media website Truth Social, the former president urged his followers to purchase the NFTs while supplies last.
"Don’t wait, they’ll go FAST (I believe!)," Trump wrote.
"I’m happy if you’re happy. Have fun. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"
If buyers purchase all 47 digital cards, they will also receive an invitation for a dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump held the first dinner for collectors of digital cards on November 13.
For those who buy up to 100 digital cards — which costs $9,900 — there are several other perks to enjoy, including:
- Two VIP tickets to have dinner with the former president at Mar-a-Lago, seated at the "VIP tables"
- Incited for two to a Pre-Gala Cocktail Reception with Trump
- One MugShot physical trading card with a piece of the suit
- One physical trading card with a piece of the suit and tie
- Two limited commemorative dinner NFT cards
- Two Clark Mitchell signed posters
- Two hoddies
- Two presidential pens
Trump first released an edition of NFT trading cards in December 2022.
The cards, which featured a portrait of himself dressed as a "superhero," were also priced at $99 each.
While the former president has touted that the collector's cards "sold out" in just hours, the NFTs were heavily criticized over social media.
"Trump is releasing NFT trading cards of himself… it really is the end of the road," one critic wrote on Twitter, the social media platform now known as X.
"Trump's 'big' announcement being Trump superhero trading cards is just incredible," another spectator wrote.
"My guy has totally lost it. The Loser Energy and grift is just off the charts. Biden is winning Montana and Alaska in 2024 at this rate," the user added.
The latest release comes as Trump is campaigning for the Republican nomination in the 2024 Presidential Election.

While the former president has refused to publicly debate any of his opponents, he has remained in the lead of most polls.
A Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed this week found a massive 61% of Republicans would vote for Trump next year.
