Tons of items from Antiquities and Art of Music - are any of these real?

Longtime reader (but first-time poster) here.

A couple of years ago my parents surprised me with a gift from Antiquities. My parents are totally awesome but just had no idea about that place's reputation. Thankfully we were able to cancel the sale and promptly received a refund.

Flash forward to Thanksgiving 2018. I was sharing this story with a family friend, who upon hearing the name "Antiquities" brought me into his game room and showed me several walls covered in autographs from everyone's favorite Las Vegas "autograph" shops: Antiquities and Art of Music.

My friend is very interested in ascertaining whether these are, in fact, fakes and asked for my help with this. As a longtime reader of the Autograph Live forums, I know the advice seems to be to avoid at all costs. However, I am not an expert in this area and didn't want to be like "dude, these are definitely not real" without getting some additional opinions.

Thanks, in advance, for any insight you all might have!

Antiquities International
All come with a COA from Antiquities International (not that that actually means anything)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone "signed" poster
- Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson
The Hunger Games "signed" book
- Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth
George W. Bush "signed" photo
- Has a LOA from Drew Max/AAU (not sure if this is worse than no LOA)

Both come with a COA from Art of Music (again not that that matters)

Unfortunately, if you have an item from Antiquities, unless you saw it signed in front of you, it’s fake

this is the photo, jodie foster and robert de niro...the foster is 100% genuine and robert de niro signs in 100 different ways so who can authenticate that one. this item comes with signing dates and where it was signed. i could not find anything wrong but it's more the bad feeling people have with other items.

so apparently Rob found the needle in the haystacks calhoun...The only legitimate item that Antiquities ever sold in 20 years and Rob has it! Nice job Rob!

It's almost like finding an authentic item from Christopher Moralass or Drew max, Birdzinki or GFA or Tony don't call me Danny Graves Podsada and his 15 scam COA's. HAS NEVER HAPPENED PERIOD! Deniro and Foster no more signed that than I did.
