Amiestilo, and everyone else of course,
Probably as others of you i have been in contact with TVF about this issue and allow me to inform you they just confirmed that the certificate of authenticy WILL contain your boxnumber (***/100). This certificate will be housed in the SAME black envelope that the PVC artwork came in. So this will fit in with the style of the boxset.
I am happy with this.
Best regards, Peter

Ah, so, since yesterday, they're adding the box numbering on the certificate (which i'd been saying to TVF would be a start) & an envelope (which is neither here nor there)...
...but, even accepting that the contents might have been poorly listed -
so it wasn't that the "each hand signed and numbered by Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo (TV Mania)" was supposed to be in addition to the "Unique Polaroid taken and hand signed by Nick Rhodes"; ie that the Polaroid covered Nick's side of it
- the one thing that's still missing is Warren's signature.
Whilst it'd probably delay stuff depending on where Warren is atm (but wouldn't it be better to wait a couple of weeks for a proper solution?), accepting the overall solution they're now trying to going for, i'm not entirely sure why that couldn't be on the envelope in white or silver pen...
...indeed, it could have been on the original one.

Thanks for the heads up, Peter! Numbering is what I was actually wanted, the least they could do. So I am good, I think. It's ridiculous to expect them get Warren to provide autographs after all.

You're welcome. Did it not only for myself. What i did? I did call them and email them stressing out that the fanbase is exploding and they really need to do something to ease things. At least a bit. I actually told them that a simple A4 size certificate won't do the trick. I suggested to have it printed on thick stylish paper including the boxnumber and put it in a black envelope or something stylish. Initially the boxnumber was out of the question so i am very glad they changed their mind. and it will come in a black envelope. Great news to me and happy you're happy with it as well. Now they must have received numerous reactions about it so i think for once it works when people stand up together.

I even made things easier for them! Asked if they could enclose the certificate/envelope along with my order of Euphoria Edition, so they save on postage and I will be sure the thing won't bend in transit... Let's see what they come up with. Once they respond I will pre-order the third edition of the same album, crazy I know.

According to the latest info, the certificates are going to be signed by both Nick & Warren... Okay, there's now a ~3 week delay with sending them to & from the US, but a great solution imho.

Many thanks for purchasing the TV Mania Limited Edition Box Set. We hope you are pleased to have secured one of this very special limited edition of 100, produced in close creative collaboration with the band. Further to this, we will be sending you a Certificate of Authenticity, personally signed by Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo of TV Mania, which signifies which number box set you have bought. In the interest of fairness, the numbers will be issued in chronological order of when the order was initially received. As the certificates still need to be sent to Warren in the US to be signed before being collected and re-delivered, please allow approximately 3 weeks from this date before we are in a position to ship.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by replying to this email.
Kind regards,
The Vinyl Factory Customer Service Team.

Thanks, Peter Need to get the new scanner set up & calibrated (just in the middle of rearranging this desk to better accommodate it), & then i'll add it to the list to do... Well, there's also all of the AT demo tape stuff as well which will take half of ever to arse about with... ...& as people have been waiting for that for months.
