Just procured these Andy Warhol edition soup cans earlier tonight....  

The best is Campbell's chicken noodle soup. So what are you gonna do with the procurement of these cans? They made over a million of these and called it limited edition, are people actually collecting these and hoping they go up in value? -MW
