    i will be slightly crushed for a split second tomorrow when i realize i didn't get a signed one but it won't last long. i do wish all them were signed but it makes it that much cooler for the lucky ones. i'm like 1 of 3 people that didn't get the fucking pick in the jeff ament cd i ordered. shit happens though, you gotta remember why you bought it. did you buy it for autographs or for the music/support of your favorite band? i figure if i wanted the band's autographs that bad i'd try to stalk them after shows. you have a few more deluxe edition chances for autographed ones maybe......................ok i'm done.

    I ordered mine the day I heard about it, it had nothing to do with autographs. And it's amazing.

    I almost wish the autograph thing hadn't happened because it's taken away a lot of the joy we should all be feeling about this great super deluxe set and how lucky we are to get it. Sure it was expensive, but I would rather have my money go to the 10C.

    Not getting a signed copy would suck if you were expecting it. I dunno why somebody would it expect it though.

    If the rumors are true about the signed copies I wish they would have done it a different way. It takes away from some of the surprise, and also they said they were gonna be signing random sets, not selecting random winners of the signed sets. It would seem like the 10c already knows who got them and that isn't really the way it was worded That's not even really a gripe.

    It's cool that they even offer a chance for it. I think next time they would be better off not announcing any sigs. <<People would still bitch, but at least then it would wait till after they have showed up.

    since there have been people who received no tracking/shipping info emails, but they did already receive their box sets, that kinda makes the theory of getting no emails = signed set not really work. i hope that everyone who hasn't received one yet gets a signed one if they want one, but i'm just laying that out there about the lack of a tracking email.

    but if folks are talking "clues" trying to figure out where the signed ones are going... one thing i have noticed from other threads though is that people had some different "Origin Scan" locations in their UPS tracking info. Some folks' info said Redmond, WA, and 1 or 2 that i've seen said Seattle, WA for the Origin Scan. Neither of the ones that I've seen with Seattle as the Origin have received their boxes yet. I don't know if that means anything, and I don't know which location would mean anything if any of that was important... but it's still just something that I've noticed.

    i'm still waiting on my copy to get here... so i'm hopeful! either way, the box set is going to be sweet!

    We as fans are totally in the dark with how many boxsets were signed, but i am sure that ten club
    sold a hell of a lot more due to the fact they were offering this lottery.
    I got mine of Friday, was held to ransom by UPS and no signed copy.
    I wish they had made 2500 signed copies available to the fans, i have spent the last few months in total hope of getting a signed copy.
    Not fair.....

    i gotta asay i think you make quite valid points...

    this was a publicity stunt and a marketing ploy....especially considering what tenclub replied in emails to me and a great many other people

    i feel this thread has gotten out of control and in thE WRONG DIRECTION.....we all know the OP was kinda pathetic ....its a lottery ...you bought the ticket. you took your chances...you still have a great thing sitting in front of you..you got "NEW PEARL JAM"...NEW stuff to drool over and smell ...you dont have the write to bitch about the fact that you didnt get a singed boxset...cause if you are ..YOU BOUGHT IT FOR THE WRONG REASON..i bought it cause its "NEW PEARL JAM"...something to fill my addiction for the next few months...if i get a signed boxset THAT IS AN ADDED BONUS ..i did NOT PAY for the autographs.. i payed for th box and everything inside and when i get i will play the shit out it, till the wheels fall off....once again like in my other post i dont even want the signed box...im willing to trade it to some body for a few posters....that i have been trying to get my hands on for months now......

    long story short WE ARE ALL HAPPY WITH THE BOXSET minus TWO people....this guy and the other who didnt know it had records..........

    I can understand your disappointment, but if the only reason you bought the super deluxe version was to get some autographs then you shouldn't have bought it.

    Ten Club can't win. If they didn't announce the chance for autographs, then people who bought the set elsewhere would have felt betrayed ('if I would have known, I would have bought it through Ten Club."). They announce the "chance" and some people view it as a simple, unscrupulous ploy to drive sales.

    I didnt read the thread, but I wish they did what NIN just did for their fans. They released a $300 set.. but 2500 were signed by Trent. If one guy can do it, im sure the band could have.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/NIN-Nine-Inch-Nails ... 1|294%3A50

    I mean of course you are paying a lot more.. but still cool. And I don't even like NIN but the article in Billboard along with a HUGE pic of the SDE made me think wow.. thats really nice.


    Signature or not, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO ARRIVE MONDAY!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, not a big deal to me. Their autograph wouldn't have changed the way the music sounds.

    i for one think all 10c should have had them signed as we brought it from 10c as we could have brought it alot cheaper elsewhere and now with the customs charge what a bastard!
