I am not framing my pictures at all. I leave them in binders, so they don't get sunlight.

A couple of you have mentioned the dangers of framing them. It is better to mat them, but don't typically. I have several of my 8x10's framed in my house.
First off, I am a bachelor, I live by myself, so you can imagine, I'm not big on dusting. But once the outside of the picture frame is due for a little windex, I take the pictures out, windex the inside of the glass, too and leave them unframed overnight. That's to let them dry, because if you still have any moisture at all on the frame part that's touching the photo.

Do it! It is good to prevent! I'll do it today too! 😂

Hi Harisson8,

Thanks, these pictures are just some examples. I like my Villeneuve signature the most. I got it in person and seeing Jacgues in the Netherlands is a very rare opportunity. I did not expected it, but he really is a nice guy. Most Dutch racing fan don’t like him because he is not always very positive about Max verstappen 😂😂😂

I have a similar system, binder with sheet protectors. They don't stick to the plastic if it's archival and if it's not a paint pen. I always put a slip of paper over the paint signatures - can't see them, but prevents sticking to the plastic. I also use photo corners mounting a 5x7 onto an 8-1/2x11 backer card.

Does the autograph not "stick" to the plastic? Is it easy to remove if you need it? How do you keep small autographs right in the center?
Nice collection! Congratulations! :D

Just started my collection a couple months back. I just store my autographs in plastic pockets inside a trapper keeper I still have from school. Probably not the BEST way to make them last, but I'll never be selling them anyway, it's just a fun hobby.

AnonymousAutographs, wrote:Hello i use cheap frames from dollar stores, but get acid free materials to back the picture. It's cheap, easy and makes your home look great. The only downside is the room (I've been collecting since April and have about 120 autographs) they take up. I also put them in an inexpensive photo album until I get frames for them. The best thing to protect them is to not let anyone handle them, especially children. My niece rubbed some of an autograph on a drumstick that I got and I almost freaked, but luckily the artist agreed to send me another.
One thing to keep in mind is that light will fade your autographs that you put up. So I think this is a cool idea for autographs with lower values.
