Well I honestly don't care about having them slabbed, but I guess I would need to send in even the relatively unknown players to be authenticated just so that I wouldn't have a collection full of fakes. Is there any particular authenticator that would be better suited and more reasonable for 1960s football?

One guy who might be able to help steer you in the right direction, is Todd Tobias (AFLfan on these boards). He has gotten to know several AFL players, including many 1960's Chargers, collected all their autographs, and has even written one or two books about the Gillman-era Chargers. He's also the guy who spearheaded the recent push to get Johnny Robinson elected to the Hall of Fame.

Regarding Chargers commons, the only danger I see is that TTM autographs might have been signed by wives, etc. PSA should be able to find exemplars in their database and authenticate these. I don't believe in autograph authentication unless I need it for re-sell or to make things easier for my heirs. But in all cases I have to be able to personally authenticate them before sending them off to PSA or JSA. That last statement will make no sense to many here.

Good points raised that are taken to heart. I didn't want it to appear that I would blindly accept a third party authenticator and not educate myself. I wouldn't do that with autographs anymore than I would buy a graded card just because of what the flip says. A collector has to know what he is getting into and have a knowledge base. I will have access to a fair amount of exemplars for my Chargers signed card project. Many of them will be TTM. The exemplars will help reduce my concerns over wives' signatures and such. Other than seeing the cards signed in person, this is about the next best thing to me. I don't have any thoughts whatsoever about resale, this is just a fun hobby for me. The AFL and its players fascinate me, and I want to reach out to some of the players of its past.

I would highly encourage you to get a subscription to sportscollectors.net and send the cards to the players yourself. Many will sign your cards for free and write back answering any questions you might have. The site also will give you a pretty good idea how long it takes for them to answer and if they charge a fee. You will find a new passion and be very excited to receive your mail every day all for the price of a SASE.
