I was able to order one (I'm in Minnesota), but for some reason it wouldn't accept my home address (used as a billing address) as a "valid address," so I had to use my work address for both shipping and billing.
I tried using my phone instead of my work PC and it went through. Let's hope this gets processed.
Order complete, thanks for looking out. Hope I was early enough to score the signed card.
I think it's pretty clearly a standard 4.25" x 6" post card. I just wish it weren't so expensive, at $28 after shipping. Still, if it's signed by the whole band, it's worth the extra $20.
Yeah, as long as it's at least signed by TR and Atticus, that's a steal. The only thing I have framed by NIN in my living room is the NIN/SG Austin poster.
Grabbed one, too (no issues to AZ). Good looking out!
Ordered
That would have been a nice physical component from the nin store.
So the question I have about this post card (and I realize no one really has the answer) is, is the signature real hand signed (maybe numbered) or printer printed signatures?
Bands do this type of thing all the time as part of a promotional release. The label coordinates it and ships the signed items to retailers. Newbury Comics in Boston offers signed items a lot. It might even signal some sort of tour promotion at some point in the near future. In fact I wouldn't be shocked if they added a couple of AUS dates after Japan in August.
If this arrives and it is a printed signature, would that be false advertising?
Yes, my thoughts exactly. I just sent them an email asking if its actually being signed, who's signing it, and what the size of the postcard is. We'll see what they say soon. In the meantime, I'm saving a screenshot of the offer page in case they change it down the line.
So I got a response, but apparently I had emailed a specific store, not a corporate office. This is the response I got:
So not much information there, but he did say "honestly this will probably be printed, too". Not sure how much more value his assumption has over anybody else, but there's that. Has anyone tried contacting a corporate office?I’m afraid that as this is an online only offer, at a store level we actually do not have any information about who will be signing the card, nor the size of it. There is also no information on our intranet as we will not be receiving any postcards in store. The best I can do is assume, and say that it will be a standard postcard size (105mm x 148mm), and that it will be signed by both band mates (honestly this will probably be printed, too). I’m sorry I don’t have any information for you on it. If you query again closer to its release date there may be some information available to us.
I have a feeling they're going to have quite a shitshow on their hands if these start arriving with a machine printed signature on them.
I took the risk and ordered one.
well, we apparently liquidated whatever inventory they had because its no longer available.
Just saw this comment string on Reddit:
Looks like we may actually be getting legitimate autographs for less than 30 clams.
My order now has cancelled beside its status. Lame. No idea what's going on here. I've dropped them an email.....
Well they are out of stock now, so if you just ordered it today, they may have already run out. My order from yesterday says Confirmed, so I don't think they're just canceling everybody's. Looks like you can still order the vinyl with postcard though if you want that: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/music/What...-vinyl/638548/
