Most notably, it’s got a Joe Delaney sig. where might one go to get such things authenticated?

The three reputable third party authenticators are:
Beckett Authentic (BAS)
PSA/DNA
James Spence Authentic (JSA)
Comparable items authenticated by all 3 companies all sell for roughly the same.
If you live in Texarkana like it says under your user name, it would probably be easiest for you to just drop it off at Beckett's headquarters in Dallas. I'm pretty sure they offer same day turnaround. You can also see if BAS, JSA, or PSA/DNA are attending any shows near you (I know they go to the show in Allen, TX every 2 months...one of the best shows in the nation BTW). And of course, you can always mail your item in but having it done in person avoids shipping/insurance costs and the possibility of it getting lost in the mail.
