Well dave I called the Ta this morning they said they would cut me a cert if I requested, so far I haven't.
I'm still haveing thoughts on the cost of $75.00 domestic and $250,00 for international companies per cert, As per etrade.
I guess that is the extortion fee to ship something that was paid for 6 years ago.

Step 1: Direct Registration/Stock Certificate Request
Effective January 1, 2009, E*TRADE and other broker-dealers will no longer be able to fulfill paper stock certificate requests for exchange listed securities and for the majority of non-listed securities. Instead E*TRADE will default paper certificate requests to electronic registration directly with the transfer agent using the Direct Registration System (DRS) in place of issuing a paper certificate. DRS is a book entry system that enables E*TRADE to directly register and electronically transfer your shares from your brokerage account to an account automatically established at the transfer agent in your name.
