I keep my cards in the standard nine pocket card sheets then put them in a binder. My photos in 9.5x11 single sheets made for scrapbooking then put them in a binder. My baseballs I keep in ball cubes and on a shelf and my Peyton Manning football is in a case from a hobby store set on a table. I hope this helps and GOOD LUCK.

In general I keep my autographs safe by after getting the autograph I go and have them laminated (done at my church) then I go and stick them in plastic sleeves then stick them in a binder. The I put the binder on a shelf.
I do keep my newest autographs though in a picture frame and display it until I get a newer one and then I put the old one that was in the frame in the binder. But that's how I do it.

I go Ultra-Pro all the way. I also use the 9-pocket pages for single cards that I want to keep in a notebook. I use the "penny sleeves" and stack them flat in a safe place for the cards I don't put in the pocket pages right away. For 8x10s I use the toploaders. I have a few postcard size items and some index cards that I keep in either the soft sleeves or in the 4-pocket pages. Ball cubes for baseballs, of course.

I don't like to use any other brand. Ultra-pro has just about everything one needs to store cards, pictures, balls, or whatever.

My autograph total reflects successes per person sent to, not per autograph. I sometimes send more than one item to be signed, but only count it as a single autograph received. This keeps my count to a more realistic perspective and prevents me from artificially embellishing my autograph count.
