Wherever you are in the world, there’s a good chance you’ve spotted a Stanley Cup while out and about. If not, you’ve probably seen one online at some point this week. They are one of the latest trends spawned predominately through TikTok and social media in general, and the craze doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon.

As a result, the popularity of the Stanley Cup is undeniable. Several high-profile celebrities rock them, including Adele during her Carpool Karaoke for The Late Show, which has only fueled the sheer demand for them around the world. However, this demand has led to some colourways becoming rarer than others, leading us to assemble a list of the rarest Stanley Cup colours to guide you through them all.

Our selection process factored in Stanley Cups that are the hardest to buy, with all five of the tumblers we’ve listed only available via the resale market due to their rarity. We’ve also considered their resale value along with details like how quickly each of them sold out upon their release. The result is a comprehensive list of the hardest-to-find Stanley Cups around. If you’ve got any of these tumblers, count yourself lucky!

Starbucks x Stanley Phillippines Exclusive Quencher “Blue”>

1. Starbucks x Stanley Phillippines Exclusive Quencher “Blue”

Our first stop on this train of exclusivity is actually an exclusive item itself. Not only was this “Blue”, sometimes known as “Tiffany Blue”, Stanley Quencher Tumbler a Phillippines-exclusive release in 2023, but it was also made in collaboration with Starbucks. It’s unsurprising, then, that this cup is one of the rarest colourways in the Stanley collection.

Trying to research this item is a nightmare, as there is next to no information available about it online from what we could see; a true testament to its rarity. All that comes up are a bunch of resale listings of this 40oz Tumbler, which, depending on where you look, are usually listed closer to the $1,000 mark than $0. Considering you can buy a regular Quencher for just under $50 right now, that’s a serious price rise that’s almost entirely down to the exclusivity of this colourway.

Lainey Wilson x Stanley Quencher “Watermelon Moonshine

There’s a bit of a theme with this list you’ll come to realise the further you read on, that being collaborations are at the heart of exclusivity. The Lainey Wilson x Stanley Quencher team-up, for instance, is another incredibly rare colourway which released to celebrate the American country music singers' 2023 single Watermelon Moonshine.

Now, we can’t deny this Quencher looks good dressed in copper-ish red and green like a watermelon; however, we don’t think its colour scheme justifies just how much it costs on the resale market. With such a high resale price, getting hold of one is incredibly challenging, hence why it is one of the rarest Stanley Cups on the market.

AntiSocialSocialClub x Stanley Jealousy Quencher “White”>

3. AntiSocialSocialClub x Stanley Jealousy Quencher “White”

Back again with another collaboration, although this one is with the popular Los Angeles–based streetwear brand AntiSocialSocialClub, or ASSC. That point is made quite clear through its design, with the Quencher featuring ASSC branding in grey on the side of this subtle white tumbler.

Despite its minimalist design, this is one of the rarest Stanley Cups around, as far as we could see. Not only does it boast a high resale value well over its original retail price, but you’d be hard-pressed to find much information about it online. All you’re really presented with are listings to buy one on the likes of StockX and Grailed, thus indicating just how rare this Quencher is. We’re not surprised though; ASSC is a hugely popular brand, so a collaboration with Stanley 1913 was always going to be a hit.

Starbucks x Stanley Target Exclusive Quencher “Winter Pink”>

4. Starbucks x Stanley Target Exclusive Quencher “Winter Pink”

Released in January 2024, the Target-exclusive Starbucks x Stanley Quencher is the newest colourway on this list, yet it’s already earned a reputation of being one of the rarest. There’s a reason multiple Target workers were alleged to be fired for buying them, and that’s because they knew, like most of us, that this Starbucks collaboration would be a hit. Being a store-exclusive too, stock of the “Winter Pink” Quencher was always going to be limited.

As seen all over TikTok, chaos ensued in Target stores upon its release, and, as a result of this pandemonium, the Quencher now commands a seriously high price tag on the resale market. Given this is both an exclusive and a collaboration though, this colourway was always going to become one of the rarest Stanley Cups around.

Starbucks x Stanley Holiday 2023 Quencher “Cherry Red”>

5. Starbucks x Stanley Holiday 2023 Quencher “Cherry Red”

Sticking with Starbucks and the coffeehouse’s “Cherry Red” Quencher released in collaboration with Stanley 1913 for the 2023 holiday season. Well, that’s not strictly true, as this stylish metallic red design was supposedly first introduced in May 2023, but was brought back in November and was once again a hit among fans of the Quencher model.

As shown by our list so far, it’s no surprise this thing was as popular as it was, seeing as it was released in partnership with Starbucks. You’ve probably guessed already this Quencher is incredibly expensive to buy second-hand, which is your only option to get one, as you won’t find this cup listed by a retailer. This is almost exclusively down to its initial popularity, reducing its recirculation supply, and causing it to become rarer than most Stanley Cups today.
