I have a sneaking suspicion these will not be as limited as everyone is thinking. When I asked the manager at Supreme he had no idea of the edition size and that his boss had all that info...kind of amateur if you ask me. Despite people flocking to the store yesterday they did not sell out.

I think they're about 1000 of each style. As far as not selling out, the Jeff Koons decks were available for weeks - they sold out but got restocked once or twice. Wasn't until months later when a set sold for thou$ands at auction did people pay attention. Even still, the Christopher Wool, Marilyn Minter, Richard Prince decks were available for a long time even after the Koons hoopla, and those decks were only $78 too if I remember correctly. Hirst is so big though these will be all gone within days, although hundreds will be available on ebay.

I can't blame Supreme for raising the price, but they might shoot themselves in the foot here. For Hirst, I'll spend $100, but in the future, I'll have to very much like the artist and design.
