Would you
a) open it up and listen to it
b) keep it as a collector's item
c) buy a second super deluxe edition to open up
d) sell/trade it

    I'm keeping it.... Signed or un-signed, it stays.

    Question is..... I would think you would have to open it to find out if it is signed??? Don't know, but either way mine will be in a happy home. I still live 2 miles away from the good ol' "Drop in the Park"!!! Only concert I can remember being outdoors down there. Now we have the Rat City Rollergirls playing there!

    Now I just take my dog's down there to do the dropping....

    Everybody had a one line.....

    Truthfully, I hope the signature is somewhere within the package that you need to open it to find out. Otherwise, the resale prices on these things on eBay are just going to be that much more absurd.

    It would be safe to assume that it's opened already if they signed it.

    Yep, me too. I bought this for the music, not as an investment.

    Open it up and play it...that is what it is for. :mrgreen:

    Well, I think chances are: it's sealed, and signs will be on the shrinkrap (in this case, I will go with b and c, because I'm a crazy collector.. fuck d :D ).. Or it is already opened, without shrink, and signs are on the package or wherever, in this case I will actually enjoy the contents, and no need to buy another one (for now)..
    I hope the second option is the right one

    I'm going to open it and play it! I didn't pay all that money to have it sit around my house sealed and collecting dust. Signed or unsigned I will not be selling mine!

    i agree. I mean it would be kinda dick of them if they just signed the plastic wrapping, which I'm sure they won't lol

    I bought it for the music and that's what I intend to do with it.
  • URthekeyURthekey Posts: 1,800
    I think if mine comes autographed I'll take out the vinyl to spin, then frame the album cover to put next to my signed Avocado.
    And I'm certain the sig's would be on the cover itself, not on the plastic wrapping.

    I'm thinkin' the gateway box thing will be signed.... totally possible to sign that before packaging.

    If I'm wrong and the shrink-paper plastic wrapping is signed and opening it would mean storing clear plastic to preserve everything, I will be purchasing another unit for my personal enjoyment. The waiting period will probably kill me!

    Well of course they won't sign the shrink-wrap--- but if the very outside (under the shrink-wrap) is signed, would you be tempted to not open it?

    If the outside shrink-wrap is signed, I won't open it. Any other circumstance, opened, absolutely.

    I will definitely be opening it up and listening to it, signed or unsigned, it makes no difference in that decision.

    Its funny how many of you people dont think they can sign it and then shrink wrap after. Also signing on the wrapping for real? Where is that thread about how dumb PJ fans are? :lol: :oops:
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Give me a break, they will not be signing the freakin' shrink wrap!

    My guess would be that they sign somewhere on the outside cover so that the signatures can be seen through the shrink wrap.

    My PREFERENCE, however, would be that they sign somewhere that can only be seen by opening the fucker up. I'm buying the package for the music, but I'm also a collector, and I'd like to not have to make the "to open or not to open" decision.

    I will be opening it up and playing regardless.. The sigs are very cool and if they sign the clam shell box that will sit up on the shelf in my living room. I will take all the vinyl out and put it with the rest I have in its proper order and the CD's will get the same. If they sign one of the albums, then I may have to get an Album frame(one of those easy access ones you can pull the record out of) for it and hang it on the wall.

    This is all on the outside chance I would actually get a signed copy, I don't see that happening though.. I have no luck.

    These sets along with any CD or DVD comes from the manufacturer unsealed. It is up to the distributor to seal it. That way they can put the little theft detterent magnet inside. These sets more than likely will be coming to Ten club from Sony unsealed. it would be Ten club's responsibility to seal them I would assume. Therefore, those signed sets would be left unsealed. Just my 2 cents.

    First off I would be changing my underwear cuz I would have just shit myself!!!

    Second I hope it would be something in the set that would be frameable and then I would be running to the framestore!!! I would want this to be on display for all who come into my abode to see. Since this is probabbly the only shot i have at getting something signed, if it was signed it would never leave my possession!!

    Hopefully they sign somewhere on the inside, I'd rather not be tempted to not open it.
