laminate on aluminium panel makes it look dull, flat and too shiny..artificial and almost a single dimension, will give it a miss

Well worth a read. I read this story before but not in so much detail, thanks for posting  

All starting out with a couple of sheds

I bought Mercy & Honor. #3 and #6. I think they will look great together on a wall...

I was thinking along the same lines as you, but am now leaning toward #3 and #5 going better together (though are very similar).

Buy 4 total and you could make a room, 5 if you want the luxury of a roof.

I like them, but my wallet doesn't.

Compared to the price of run of the mill NFT's these are essentially being given away.

H4-7, which is similar size, has sold a few times on ebay, roughly 9-10 thousand, but they are limited to just 75. So if these sell by the truck load then perhaps $3000 plus costs is high enough. IMO for a timed edition they are not bargain priced. What was the cost of the H4-7s on release?

[Poster Bob]

What makes you think that you're making a fair comparison by using the least desirable print of the H4 series before its price even matures?

The last heni editions are not an easy purchase in my opinion...fruitful, forever, heart and rainbow... not pricey enough to let them go, not good enough to make it to the wall...
For me its the material and format together with the type of image that is not a great fit... but that is my opinion!
Mixed feelings at my end... I belive I will pass.

I'm making the only comparison available to me. I'm no Hirst expert(why I asked what the release price was), you say it's his least desirable, is this the general consensus or personal opinion? I am interested in buying but don't want to pay $3000 for one of possibly thousands if his usual limited drops would cost say $4500 for 1/75.
Edit: I now know they were $6000 + costs. Thanks Blurp

[DrWhite]

I’m undecided- there is one I particularly like- but not knowing how many will sell in the timed release is stopping me from pulling the trigger

[Poster Bob]

The release price means nothing other than, in general, setting a minimum price. Secondary price is determined by image quality, size and limitation. Without a doubt, H4-7 is the least desirable of the series. You're assuming that you're going to be offered a signed Hirst; I wouldn't count on it as the competition is steep. I have a friend who owns over 10 HENI prints, has never sold a thing, and still hasn't been offered a thing by Hirst.

Ok, difficult to get in to the limited party. I'll take that into account.

I guess my point was more that these seem downright cheap when you compare the cost to timed open edition NFT's. Would you rather a signed Hirst or Greg Mike open edition, because they're almost the same cost.

How're people ranking these in terms of desirability...I'm preferring the darker blue sky images. (Sorry to detract and get on to the art)

[Deleted]

There are 8 of them, all signed by hand if you like that kinda thing, i do, better than plate signed

You can buy all 8 for about half the price of an unsigned banksy. well maybe not half the price, just trying to stretch a point.... rather badly

8 is my favorite tonight

who knows what it will be once the booze kicks in

I like the lighter images, 3 and 5 personal favourites due to their minimalism, fits well with my personal aesthetic and reminds me heavily of Japan. From an investment POV? 1 and 7 are the most different so potentially desirable, 2 is completely fucked not sure what he was going for with the gravity defying branches.

Less than half the price. They must be looking for investors with this release. In theory you could buy all 8 for £17000 (I’m not sure on the vat situation it’s a bit confusing). Then store all 8 with heni for about £1500 a year which is 9% of the purchase price. So as long as they appreciate by over 9%pa (which they probably will) you will be quids in and I think there are lot of people who will take this option (myself not included). However the market will be flooded for years with these so any investors will have to hang on for a looong time.

[Art Buy Guy]

My 2 cents: Many people waited for the cherry blossoms (as square format, maybe smaller). The dimensions are huge but probably adequate for a tree motif.

Pricing is difficult to judge: half the price of the signed and limited H4 edition, double the price of the time limited but approx. half-sized and unsigned H8 (Fruitful & Forever, large).

My estimate for the total edition size of all eight together is 5,000.

I will definitely order at least one, but don't know which one yet. My favorites are H9-1 Justice, H9-4 Politeness (even with the visible overpaintings in the top left) and H9-6 Honour. In fact, these are the ones with a little more colour contrast.

[pumpkintico]

I do fancy one of these. I know that they can be hung directly, but I think they might look better framed. Any thoughts about framing?

White, tray frame.
