Not getting a signed copy sucks?? Discuss.

i don't think it sucks that mine wasn't signed. i didn't order the thing for signatures. its the coolest pearl jam thing i own hands down and i feel like 10C put together something special and unique for the fans. if you can't see that in any way, even just a little bit, then you are missing the point mister.

I can't for the life of me understand why people would get so worked up over an autograph they weren't there for. I thought the whole point of an autograph was to prove you have met someone. If I got an autographed one, it would be kinda cool I guess (Wow, the guys held my box set for a couple of seconds, that's kinda neat). But this is pretty damned goofy. It would be like wanting a picture of Eddie with some random other guy, and buying it as a substitute for having your picture taken with Eddie. Doesn't make any sense to me. Oh well.

i agree with this 100%. sure, it would be cool if they signed mine. but that's not why i bought it.

I got my copy on Monday. It is great - I was really impressed with what a fantastic job they did. I will say I was a bit bummed for a minute or two that it wasn't signed but still glad I bought it. I'm sure we are only a % of Ten Club members, but it does seem a little odd that not a single person out of all these responses received a signed copy. Hope to hear that some did get signed ones. Will make me feel better that the whole signature thing was a ploy to boost sales. Not that they would have needed it. Hate to think that way, but that's life. In any event, just get your set and look, read, listen, ENJOY!! :P

releasing this set signed has been the biggest deal for a collector pj have done since benoraya..


Hell, for all you know, SLH or Tim B or someone else at the 10C could have been the ones signing for the band!! Happens all the time.... I dont think they would do something like that, but to put it in perspective, as someone else mentioned, we are a VERY SMALL MINUTE part of the fanclub that come here. So if you bought it for the possibility/hope of a sig, then yes, you are a bit dillusional...;-)[/quote]

the last thing i have missed is the point, like i said i would have bought the box signed or not
i was opening a discussion about how the autographed copy was handled, on various threads and this one, people have agreed with some of my points, ok i may have not worded it the best way, i admit the op sounds a bit lame
i didnt think so many people would get on their soapbox..
yea i hoped for a signed copy, if that is delusional then whatever

Has a single person gotten a signed copy yet? I haven't seen a post about that. If so please correct me. Im not ungrateful but I do feel a little strange about the fact we were told a bunch would be signed and now it seems like maybe none to very few were.

I'm not going to comment on the signature thing, because I didn't buy it from 10C-bought it from Best Buy because I waited until past the presale.

I will say that this is something special for us as fans. The $133 I spent at Best Buy (sales tax) was well worth it. Jeff and Ed put a lot of time and effort in this; the notebook, the backstage pass, faux ticket, and the Mookie card (made me laught). Even the two posters were a nice touch. Everything was well thought out. Well done.

I wouldn't tell a board full of rabid anonymous internet fanfolk that I had received one of the most anticipated objects of their lust in years... :P
