Has anyone heard of Charity Fundraising Packages?

The skeptic I am, my cousin bought at a Orthopedic Association charity auction, a signed photograph of contemporary living presidents.

This was the item: http://www.charityfundraisingpackages.com/fundraising-items/autogra...

With the seller being Charity Fundraising Packages.

If anyone prefers to tell me privately, I can be reached a variety of ways through museumframing.com

Any opinions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not able to help with presidential autographs but the celebrity ones on that site are no good IMO.

The music autographs appear to be fake. The U2 ones are most definitely forgeries - very common ones in fact.

From what we've come across in the past, many of these charity fundraising organizations are full blown scams, selling an unlimited supply of high end, often "too good to be true" items.

Thanks Rich and JXE. Although this is what I thought, my initial inclination is that you would think there are foundations that would have stars sign items for fundraising benefits.

There certainly are charities that stars will sign for (for some celebrities, it might represent the best way to get a quality autograph). This is not one of them.

I just saw some items in a recent auction provided by that company, that I believe to be fake. I'm in the process of TRYING to look into it. ANybody else with stuff purchased from Charity Fundraising Packages or Anthony Nurse, please contact me IMMEDIATELY>
