Do you plan to sell them on eBay, to an autograph dealer, or at a public auction?

Then simply offer them to a dealer as if they were authentic. It is not your responsibility to authenticate what you are selling. It is the dealer's responsibility. If the dealer says they are not real, then contact me here.

I heard back from 2 different dealers who told me that they were signed by Kennedy's secretary. They seemed pretty convincing and they looked at a lot of pictures that I had. They said that these docs have very little value and didn't want them due to their status.

There is a book available sometimes on eBay or also on various book sites Charles Hamilton's "the Robot that helped to Make a President" it illustrates most of the secretarial signatures. Also try Paul Carr's book on Kennedy
