I recently did this through Ameritrade.  I paid the normal $8.95 for the
trade, but then had to pay another $30 to transfer the name on the certificate
and have that certificate mailed.    I'm not sure how these costs may differ
elsewhere, but it was very easy.

I havn't done it, but there is a racket starting with Merrill Lynch (ed) for
issuing certificates. I just got Waterhouse materials and they claim that
there is no charge for delivery ( the name of issuing stock in paper form ) I
don't know if they are unique, but Scott charges 25 bucks on a $7 trade for
delivery. If any others are "free delivery" I'd be intersting in knowing who.
 
I havn't tried them, Waterhouse, but it would be worth a call/e-mail to
confirm. I believe that they trade for 12 bucks up to more shares than I have
money for.
