I have seen some amazing signed Halo-themed memorabilia go up for sale on eBay. Frankie once put his signature and an original Mister Chief drawing on a custom made Master Chief suit. Several cast members of Red vs. Blue signed an Xbox 360 faceplate that was to be sold for charity. Many passionate Halo fans have diligently carried their game disc around to various gaming events to collect signatures of Bungie employees.
Up for sale right now on eBay is a very special item that proudly boasts the signatures of Master Chief, Cortana, and Sergeant Johnson. I love this particular piece of Halo history because it is signed by the video game characters themselves. Of course the virtual characters cannot sign a tangible object. The people who voice them certainly can though. Included in this auction is a Halo 3 item signed by Steven Downes (the voice of Master Chief), Jen Taylor (the voice of Cortana), and David Scully (the voice of Sergeant Johnson).
About this auction (from the eBay page) :
Bid now to own your very own exclusive Halo 3 that was signed by Steven Downes the voice of “Master Chief”, Jen Taylor the voice of “Cortana”, and David Scully the voice of “Sergeant Johnson”, and will make you the envy of your friends. Also included is a black men’s XL American Apparel T-Shirt that reads “Bungie” – “halo 3 launch party”.
The listing does not detail exactly what is included in this auction but the pictures show everything from the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 including the helmet (which appears to bear all the signatures). The images (the 7th picture is a really good shot of the signed helmet) can be found on the eBay page in the picture gallery. If you are considering bidding on this item, it is probably worth a message to the seller for confirmation of what exactly is being sold.
100% of the of the final sale price will be donated to The Adrienne Shelly Foundation which is a nonprofit agency that “supports the artistic achievements of female actors, writers and directors through a series of scholarships, grants, and industry mentoring. Reflecting Adrienne’s generous spirit, our goal is to recognize the tremendous passion and commitment of women artists in creating their own work.” Buy an awesome Halo item while supporting a worthy cause. It just doesn’t get much better than that.

I might have bid if it REALLY was signed by Master Chief and not some actor. It would go well with my limited edition virus signed by The Flood.

Pretty cool blog. Not a Halo fan yet though. But I need to get with the times and just get an XBOX and dive right in. Been a CS player for the longest time.

That is indeed pretty cool. I was trying once to get the autographs of some of the Cloudmakers from the Halo 2 ARG. Unfortunately my friend who knew a couple of them never got back to me on my request. :sniff:
