What is the value of a Harry Truman original autograph on Independence Missouri letterhead?
Probably about $75.
He did have a stamp that was frequently used when he was President. Generally, you can tell the real signature from the stamp in two ways. The first is if the signature is in black ink where most of his letters were typed with a blue ribbon.
Second, 99% of his real signatures have a special signature so to speak, where the pen on the "y" part of Harry stays on the page to either his middle initial and/or last name. Most fakes don't have this connection.

How do you get certificate of authenticity for a signed football shirt?
Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA http://www.psadna.com, and James Spence Authentic (JSA) http://www.spenceloa.com. Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one. They both do business through the mail, and also travel across the country. Check their websites for their show schedule for when they might be in your area. Before you spend money be sure that they are not facsimile signatures. A lot of people mistaken facsimile signature which are printed on, as opposed to authentic hand signed signatures. If the signatures are signed with a felt pen for example, the ink will tend to be heavier at points where the pen started, stopped or slowed while signing. With facsimile signatures the ink will trend to be more uniform throughout. I will leave a link on this page to read more.
How do you make custom index cards for sports autographs?
You could just go out and buy index cards. If you want them customized, do it to your liking. Index cards are good for TTM Autographs which means sending away for signatures Through The Mail but, signatures signed on an index card will be lower in value than a signed baseball or Photo. If you are getting the autograph in person you should get either a photo or baseball signed. Signatures will vary in price based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, the item signed, and how well the item displays the signature. Baseballs are the most common, and preferred by collectors because of it's connection to the game, low cost, availability and it displays the signature well. The signed baseball represents the average price for a signature, and by deducting or adding from this price for the Item signed accordingly will give you a good idea on value.
The lowest priced signed item would be for a "cut Signature." A cut signature is a signature on a piece of paper, or "cut" from a larger piece. Index cards are the next step up, and both sell at a fraction (about 10%-20%) the price of an autographed baseball. Autograph photos typically sell at about 40-60 percent the price of a baseball with bats, uniform Jersey's and equipment selling at a higher price due to the higher cost of the item, rarity and display.
In general if an autographed baseball is worth $100. the same autograph on a 8x10 photo $50. a cut signature or index card$20. on a bat $150. The percentage of the price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is.

Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally collectors of baseball cards would rather have a baseball card without the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the card and will lower the value.
A collector of signatures will not always pay extra for the "collectible" baseball card. The autograph collectors main concern is displaying the signature. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive baseball card signed. You could devalue the price of the card, and get less for it.
Once a collectible baseball card is signed the value of the card dramatically goes down as a collectible. The card then becomes an Item to display the signature. The bulk of the value relies on the value of the signature of the player that signed the card, and how well the card displays the signature.
In general a signed baseball card is worth about 30% - 40% the price of a signed baseball or close to the price of a signed 8 x 10 photo. Percentage may vary based on the demand for the signature.
