John F. Kennedy autographs - are these secretarial?

I was offered these three different John F. Kennedy signed items (two were photos and one was a letter dated 1950) but I know JFK is notorious for secretarial signed items. These items were all obtained ttm at some point (so definitely not modern forgeries, if fake I am thinking secretarial since no autopen characteristics here). If any of these are authentic please let me know which one(s). The prices for them were/are all different but it was due to nature of photo/item signed and not likelihood of authenticity. I took pictures of just the signatures.

Thanks. What do you think of the first two? Supposedly they were signed while he was President.

Number one is also secretarial as president 

Not sure about number two, but probably secretarial

That’s what I suspected. The seller wanted $4000 for the first example (it’s an uncommonly seen large signed photo), $1500 for the second example (common 8x10 photo) and $1200 for the third (1950 Congress letter). Knew it was probably too good to be true. 

Thanks so much for your help. Totally appreciated.
