Opie & Anthony, Jim Norton, Amy Schumer (also sent a very nice note, what a sweet girl), James Randi, etc... Yvonne, I can't tell if it's a sec or real. I'll have to pull out my in-person and compare. I sent a $200 check along with it. Hasn't been cashed. I was hoping that would at least show that I am not some ebay-tard trying to make a buck. I truly want a sig on my nice 11x14 so I can frame it for my "media room."

I MEAN, MY GOD, WHO SENDS A CHECK IN THE TRIPLE FIGURES TO A CELEBRITY WHO SENDS ONLY SECS?!

It's your money, but...dang. I'm not going to call you an idiot, but I'm going to think it very, very hard.

Even if you have the money to do that....BUY IT FROM A DEALER. Or go to one of the conventions she's signing at...

You think that if you send a celebrity a check, they'll open it and cash it personally? It's pretty much common sense that, for the most part, especially in cases where the celeb sends secs, gifts sent through agencies likely WILL NOT reach their intended recipient.

wow cross my fingers for your success

Well, I have a small update. I sent the above, but also a much smaller donation to Josh Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Scott Krinsky, and Kane Hodder (Jason Vorhees.) I can't figure out who, but one of them, whomever opens their mail, took my check and counterfeited it, and then tried to cash it for over $3400. I just got a call from my bank alerting me to the fraudulent activity. So, while my idea may not be terrible, the sad truth is we don't know who is answering the mail for our favorite celebrities. Any gift, donation, etc, may never actually reach them.
