To be honest, I sort of wish they hadn't announced any signing of anything, and just left it to be discovered when people opened up their sets. The way some people seem to be treating this up until this latest bit of information is that they expected theirs to be signed almost.

Does it not slightly register that this was announced in advance to help them sell more?

I remember the thread - the OP of that thread had stated he contacted the 10c and was told of the "plan" to sign as many as possible in the day...I agree if only 30-40 ended up being signed, that is a little disappointing. That said, I ordered day 1 without knowing if the no. to be signed was 5 or 500. I was happy to give my $$$ to the band as opposed to a retailer even if I could save a few bucks. I looked at it as though I was supporting the band and getting a free lottery ticket for an autograph. For those who jumped on board when they heard the chances of getting a signed copy were somewhat "better", I understand why they are bummed. Mods could have quashed that "rumour" when it was posted. Anyway, that's life, good luck to everyone. Certainly makes cracking the box exciting...

all excellent points, the signing was used to sell more, simple really, right or wrong thats why it was done.

They could have been more honest but they weren't. No one knows what a handful means, they may be playing us all by having them all signed but not wanting to let people know so its a surprise...who knows..

Is it important? no not really, its the box we all want isnt it? its whats in the box? but sure we'd all love a signed one, especially a collector like myself. The sad thing is I would think half of the signed ones will find ebay, and go for massive money. the band could combat that by spending a little time signing a shit load and making sure this thing doesnt become a $1000 on ebay.

I've gotta agree with many comments above, sure I'm one of the people who defend this band to the earth, but I really dont think it would have been too much to ask to sign a shit load.

Thos who say do you know how long it takes to sign something? Well i think we all sign something from time to time, in my work I sign my name around 200 times a day. I have a long name, a complicated signature but I could knock 100 out in 30 minutes very very easily, if someone was passing me things. So the give them a break argument doesnt sit so well. Sometimes giving something back is cool......

I'm really not trying to moan, just saying I understand a lot of the posts in this thread, and as funny as many of you find it, many people here are right.

The message certainly seems though, that never bank on something that isnt guaranteed otherwise you are likely to be disappointed....its a bonus and at least we are in with a chance small or large, we all have a little extra excitement in opening the box that we wouldnt have had if we bought it elsewhere so i think we should be thankful for that at least. And Mike (MJB) above is dead right at least we know PJ get the cut from the straight to source purchase rather than the retailers, that has to be a positive too

No "edder" for me. No big deal, but I have hunch from this and reading these boards over the years, along with everything else, Eddie HATES signing autographs. My guess is he would find himself among the people on this board who think "no big deal", and "who gives a fuck about a piece of paper with some 'chicken scratch' writing on it".

I'm not so sure about that. I heard that he took the time to sign autographs at a ton the shows this past summer on his solo tour- usually before the shows. He's just not that big on getting his pic taken.

I think Bob Marley said it best - why must the people believe in rumours? If people hadn't circulated "news" like this about the signatures, we could all be excited for this package to arrive, rather than this aura of disappointment/anger that some people seem to be emitting. I think a huge problem is that people don't seem to realize that there is etiquette associated with text, as well as speech. The person who, a few months ago, posted an email that they were sent from 10C should never have done so, especially without asking the 10C whether they could quote it first. This way, we could've nipped the distribution of (potentially) false information in the bud.

I asked tenclub regarding the signing and posted accurately what was replied, which was very similar to another quote in this thread.

People quote ten club all day long here, its exciting, people share news, in fact thats how a lot of news happens in the world.

Should the guy who met Stone at a gig have asked him if he minded him posting on the forum that only 30 or 40 would be signed? Should he fuck.

Not entirely sure how it can be false info when it comes from source, perhaps you could elaborate on this before making just stupid statements

Hope you are right. My experience is it is a chore for him and not something he likes to do.

I've sat around before/after a few shows and not seen him sign, although I hear that he has.

well guys they have started arriving and they are definitely not all signed

You can count me on getting a signed one. I have about the worst luck in the world.

Think about it this way.

If every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the Ten Club got a signed box set, it would make it less special, less rare, and of less value.

Of course if you've ever been the baseball card collecting/trading type; this would be what Sherlock Holmes refers to as "elementary"

I personally didn't buy this thing with any intenion, desire, or expectation of it being signed by the band.

Sure...It would be great to open it up and see that the band signed it, but if it's unsigned...I couldn't give a rat's ass.

I'd much rather get my autographs the old school way by bumping into Stone, Eddie, Matt, Jeff, Mike, Boom at an "In and Out Burger" and kindly, politely, and un-intrusively ask them to kindly sign my super cool ultra deluxe boxset that I'm so very thankful and blessed to have the opportunity to purchase by the wonderful organization that is the Ten Club.

Spin The Black
That is the point afterall.

Enjoy

Ha Ha...Good Point.

Maybe I'll just bring the composition notebook with me and give it back to Eddie, telling him I found it at an In and Out Burger.

Imagine his reaction?

Some people here need to learn the difference between being disappointed and being duped.

The fact that some people here "predicted" every box would signed isn't really a logical reason to be mad at the 10C. People need to realize they created the fantasy by themselves. Also, I don't see how people can complain that they weren't told that they could have gotten the box set cheaper from BestBuy. Consumer responsibility, anyone?

Why do so many people have a problem with personal responsibility?
