Please don't be rude. For all you know, whosurdaddy could be 17/18? Thats young to me so please don't make false accusations about othersreading through all these postings from other users I have the impression that we are dealing with a lot of young/teen collectors who can't afford the technique's yet that we are using.
How do you store your autographs?

I'm not getting rude at all. It's just a simple fact that a teenager can't afford the equipment that the "older" generation uses since they do only live off their pocket money. A professional framing with acid free backing and UV protected glass/museum glass is the kind of really expensive stuff and nothing that you would get next door at WalMart's.TheMailman wrote:Please don't be rude.

If you have ever paid more than US $40.000 on an ALS by John Wilkes Booth you will understand why it's so important to put money in the protection of your autographs.TheMailman wrote:But seriously, thats getting too technical. At the end of the day, it is a piece of paper which has a scribble on it, why go and spend so much when you can slide it into a nice folder than spending more, than the actual autograph is worth?

this is probably a stupid question but what brand do you use. i have the avery poly vu.whosurdaddy wrote:Hey RSVP,
i couldn't have said it better. They actually still make PVC Sleeves? I thought they went out with the dinosaurs. LOL . jennyblue, I also get my sleeves from staples. I always look for archival safe, no pvc. As far as putting them in frames I have maybe 200 or so in frames with acid free backing and UV PROTECTED GLASS which you can special order from any frame/ matting/picture shop.
And I understand your point R.S.V.P. I know i am in college and money for me is pretty tight but i did not know that about photos.
JennyBlue, you could try Ultra Pro. I personally find that brand very reliable and many sports collecting specialists also use it.jennyblue wrote:this is probably a stupid question but what brand do you use. i have the avery poly vu.whosurdaddy wrote:Hey RSVP,

I'm using an old German brand (KOBRA) that has proven to be the best for me. Maybe some collector from the US can tell you more about US brands.
