I haven't checked yet but I doubt if his autograph brings that much on the open market, Anyone know what the shops in London charge for him????

He asks that the donation be sent as a check made out to the charity, so they get 100% of every donation sent to him. I highly doubt that he would do this for a charity he doesn't support (as he gets nothing out of it), but that's none of our business, as his finances and charitable contributions are between him, his financial managers, his family, and the charities.
It's also important to note the distinction between signing in exchange for a charitable donation and selling the autograph.
He's not selling his autograph, he's providing an incentive to donate to the charity, much like PBS pledge gifts. Sure, you probably can get it cheaper elsewhere, but that's not the point. He's essentially saying "If you donate $25 to this charity, I'll send you an autograph". It's a gift in exchange for making a donation of at least $25, not a sale.
