1930s actors

Hey, I’m new here and was given this site as a recommendation from some folks at RACC. My grandmother passed away and I have inherited her collection of signed photos from 1935-1939 as she penciled in on the back of each photo the year. There are approximately 175 photos and most are 5x7. A lot are personalized. Some are preprinted and others are probably secretarial, but I don’t know which are.

How should I go about getting these authenticated and how should I go about selling them? I collect sports and music memorabilia and only know a few of these names as I’m 30 and don’t really watch Turner Classic Movies. I know that I’m better off selling individually than selling them in bulk. Thank you so much for your help!

after re-looking through maybe 50 exemplars, I am somewhat pulling back.

Based on the "k" and the straight backs of the looped letters

You are not getting my donut though haha

It'll be interesting to see how many genuine autographs there are on the 5x7s. They're usually few and far between. You've got a good grasp of what you have here, Robert. Hopefully Eric, Goodcat and Joe can help you find the diamonds in the rough.

Thanks for looking st everything so far. I’m hoping there are more authentics than secretarial ones. I’d really like to sell these and any that I don’t sell here are probably going to eBay. I’m planning to add some baseball/footballs/guitars to my collection with what I sell.

Im going to try and post these individually as that’s easier. I apologize for taking up the feed on the forum.
