Won a Presidential Autograph collection in an auction. I appreciate any opinions of their authenticity.

The auction was for an autograph collection belonging to Richard Griffith of Tyler Tx. The autograph collection consisted of:

 

Framed newspaper clipping of, and autographed by, Ronald Reagan, George H. Bush, and Thomas "Tip" O'Neill

Bonus pic:  The newspaper had a Jimmy Carter autographed pic underneath it.

 I did some research and Mr. Griffith had donated over $500,000 between 2010-2012, to various political organizations.  This lends more credence to the possibility of these autographs being authentic.  I attached pictures of the items.

Any comments are appreciated. Please let me know if more pics are wanted.
