Opiate reissue to be signed?
A new photo Adam posted on Instagram today suggests that the Opiate reissue will be signed by all members of the band. Presumably all 5000. Edit: According to Danny on Children of Saturn today it appears 2000 are signed.
I bet their hands were so sore afterwards they couldn't bring themselves to writing any new songs! Bastards!

I just hope this is "truly for the fans" and doesn't exceed $50, hope in one hand shit in the other I guess. Just wondering how saturated the ebay market is going to be after the release!?
Not sure you can so easily put a price on something "for the fans" when there's a significant portion of the fanbase that would happily pay $100 for something like this that is autographed. Â
As far as Ebay being saturated, no doubt some will appear there, but to be honest if there's 5000, and the price is $100+ I don't really see them selling super quickly.  $100+ is fine when you're selling something limited to say 200 (like the Lateralus vinyl) but for 5000 of them?  I just can't see them shifting so quickly that Ebay will become over inflated.

@HB true $100 I agree is a fair price for something signed by Tool (going rate for signed posters if not more at concerts), but for someone interested in all 5 editions, starts getting pretty steep. For that price me and someone else can go have dinner with maynard haha. As far as ebay ya I can see there being postings for three times as much (is what I guess I meant, always amazes me what goes on in there) but still available on the website kinda like the left over posters. Heres hoping the server doesn't crash and price stays low! ;-D

There are two things guaranteed in this sale - the price will be high and the server will crash!

Not here to bash Tool again. Already made clear my thoughts on this re-issue. However, I do think the signatures are a nice touch. Again, not something I would care about, but it's better than stickers. I suppose on some level I could understand why the uber-Tool-aficionado might want this. I wish all of you who are looking to get a copy good luck.
@HB - Nice bit of comic relief there at the end. Got a decent chuckle out of that one.
