I called my local store and they said they got 3 and were sold out immediately. Oh well.

Line? No one at my store waiting

What are the chances there is a reload of Obama's book?

That looks great! I've seen a few other sigs and they all appear unique

I got one signed president Obama book, had to wait about 45 minutes outside but very excited to add his auto to the collection. They were gone within 2 minutes

Nice Obama sig! Glad there are no autopens!

anm2231 · 12-01-2020, 11:44 AM

I could’ve bought 5 this morning, but only went with 3

Go back! lol

elny43 · 12-01-2020, 11:46 AM

I assume the release is a one and done?

Vargaman · 12-01-2020, 11:47 AM

Just called my other 2 local B&N and they also sold it within first 10 min.

One store opened an hour before the others so it’s likely one person scooped them all up

I did not. I hesitated when the preorders initially came out and now feeling the effects of POMO haha my local B&Ns are all sold out and they won't ship from another store to me because it's in-store only.

Yeah, I know the feeling! Yes, no, yes, no, maybe, what if it's fake, etc.! lol

Can't they save it and you just get to whatever store has one?

Haha yeah, I got too caught up in the Autopen discussion. It hits even harder now that I've seen the sigs.

I asked and they said they can't hold it either. The store has 1 left and it's over an hour away from me. Just not worth the risk.

Yup, definitely not worth it! But if you get a seller desperate enough, you might get one for $400!

Went to my local B&N at 10:05 and it looked like they had 3. At first they said I couldn't sign up for a membership day of purchasing one so I was about to leave and then I guess the manager changed his mind -- got one!

gameissued · 12-01-2020, 12:25 PM

Nice, sharp sig! They only had three for the entire store I went to. Luckily only three people were there and got one.

most of these stores are either in areas that didn't support him or areas where in these times people can't afford $360 for a book. Call end of day or tomorrow some place like utah or texas or california and you'll be fine. I was in new york last year and they had plenty of signed michelle ones.

Idk if the Michelle and Barack versions are comparable. His will be sold out everywhere in the next day or two and I don't think a restock happens.

and also I live in a lower/lower-middle class area and Trump won our county by like 40 points lol so I'm not sure that location matters
