Just passed through a charity auction in New Orleans and saw these up for bid. One was a Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Dual Signed collage, the minimum bid was $330. The other was a Rolling Stones Band Signed photo collage. Shouldn't the minimum bids be much higher if they were real since they would cost a lot more? The company is called All American Classics out of Arkansas.

The Rolling Stones piece is a fake in my opinion, not familiar enough with the others to say

From their website:

The traditional “high bid wins” auction for charity style works as simply as it is stated. However, we have a new way of doing things that allows the charity to raise significantly more money. Our “Every Bid Wins” bid sheets does the trick. Because we produce all of our own items, we have the ability to produce multiples of everything we send out. With “Every Bid Wins” each individual bidder that meets the minimum bid and minimum raise amount will win an item.

"Because we produce all of our own items . . . "

Accidental honesty?

"Does the trick" probably wasn't the best choice of words either.

that is bizarre

I figured a Frank Sinatra signature would be much more expensive than that

Regardless, charity auctions such as this that sell autographed memorabilia are usually bad news.  They're a haven for scam artists.
