How does one go about authenticating autographs?

- Signed, framed 8X10 autograph of Shaquille O'Neal hanging on the rim after a dunk while playing at LSU. I think Clarence Cesear in foreground, with TJ Pugh, Geert Hammink, other teammates in background. Probably 91-92 season if I'm right on Cesear.
- Autographed Reggie White football with John 3:3-16 quote
- A nice Pete Maravich litograph.
- A football autographed by the members of the 1978 LSU football team. I don't know the full story on this but my late grandfather apparently knew Charlie McClendon and the ball has emblazoned on it "To The Ole Tiger, From the '78 Fighting Tigers." Don't know if this was specially made or if the balls were mass produced. Balls has faded some but McClendon, Stovall, Ensminger, Charles Alexander autographs definitely visible.
- Autographed plastic tee by Elton Veals, #38, a former NFL player.
- A LSU Tigers hot sauce bottle.
- A copy of the Sports Illustrated 2007 LSU National Champions edition.
- Some specialty Coca-Cola bottles, including a six-pack of 2003 national champion LSU bottles.
- Finally, a pretty expansive basketball card collection going from about 1989 to 1996. Some Shaq and David Robinson rookie cards as highlights, among a lot of others.

Dunno how I would prove it to a third party. I sent the card to Hull in the mail at team headquarters and got it back a couple of months later. I think he was with the St. Louis Blues at the time.

I don't know because I'd never sell mine.

I have a closet full of cards, autos,etc., but my favorite is a 5 pc. bedroom set made of solid ash by Louisville Slugger that was initially bought by Will Clark for his son. I had Will sign the desk chair and a Sports Illustrated from '88 with him and McGwire on the cover. I took pics of Will & my son together on the chair that he signed. Only thing I've seen close was a 3 pc. set that was selling for $2000 without the history mine has. I call it mine, but its for my 5 yr old & when he outgrows it, I plan on storing it. Don't think I will ever sell.

Sports illustrated cover "Hes a Pistol" signed by Chris Jackson... about 500 autographs on cards, pictures, SI covers, and baseballs. Includes Clemente, Mantle, Maris, Dimag, Williams..... lot of them through the mail back before they figured out they could make a living selling their sig. Had a book at one time with their home addresses. Lot different now.

I just want to get a C.O.A. for some of my things. I watched the show Hollywood Treasures and they authenticated old checks from celebs. I was hoping there was a local place that does similar things.

Football signed to me by Walter Payton (signature fading badly now 
)
Bears helmet signed twice by Urlacher that I won in silent auction (signature was effed at some point either during shipment or at the auction and I missed it). The guy who got it donated shipped it back to the Bears coach who got it signed and had Urlacher re-sign it.
