The donation might not be tax deductible. The value of the autograph has to be considered against the amount of money donated. So if you send $30.00 and the value of the autograph is, say, $30.00 then it is a wash and there can be no tax deduction legally taken.

It's a bummer for me, too. I sent a Topps trading card to her agency last winter not knowing she wants money in the form of a donation. While that amount is something I could afford by saving up, I don't think her autograph is worth that much to me. The bummer part is that I was trying to get the cast of Heroes. Oh, well...
