I had a similar experience to Steve Martin. I kept the royaly check; and the envelope with the stamp that was more than the check. It cost them more to mail it to me than the check was worth.
I think it's a 17 cent check and a 30 cent stamp. I still want to frame those.
If I drove to the bank to cash it, I lost money.
