A charity auction supporting theImmune Deficiency Foundationhas turned up a rare bit ofFromSoftwareswag: anElden Ringposter signed by director and studio president Hidetaka Miyazaki himself. And you can get it yourself if you can beat the current top bid of a mere $12,600.

YouTuber CDawgVA, known for a variety of charity work, is behind this auction, and firstteasedthis Miyazaki poster a few weeks ago. “He barely ever signs things, why would I give this away?” he asked. “It’s for charity, Connor. It’s for charity.”

This listing is now live over onTiltify, and from a humble $1 start on July 12, it’s already shot up to $12,600 as of 32 minutes ago. That’s largely thanks to YouTuber Jacksepticeye, who’s repeatedly one-upped any competing bidders over the past few days. Interestingly, an anonymous bidder has actually been his biggest competitor over the past few hours, though other big names like Ludwig helped drive the price sky-high. For context, the first couple dozen bids were comfortably below $1,000, but new offers started to balloon after the $680 mark.

Fielding the feedback that this charity has become a trade show for rich YouTubers and their rich friends, CDawgVA said in a tweet: “We got a ton of raffle items, merch, and a free 5-hour show. I know a lot of the big items are going for stupid numbers but the goal is to raise as much money as possible for a good cause and have a great time doing it.”

Jacksepticeye, meanwhile, seemed to insist that he won’t be letting this item slip, no matter the price. “Phase 2,” hesaidin a tweet.
