How To Preserve Your Autographs

[pris2010]

Hello everybody! I have several autographs of Jude Law got when I saw Hamlet in NY. If anyone is interested I can send it... I'm from Brazil and I`d like to know if someone who saw Hamlet October 20th has the photos with Jude and fans to send to me. I didn`t get pictures with my face: only pictures of him!! If anyone has, please send me: I'll be very happy! I can send the photos that I have too!!

I have a book signed, how do I prevent it from damages? I have it by years now... I keep it in my room.

u know what, i have a book older than 100 years old, and its wraped in about 25 years old newspaper, and guess what, nothing happened

I have just started collecting Autographs. We have Ray Park (Darth Maul) and Normal Lear and Rob Reiner's autographs. We've got them all framed on our wall so far. Hopefully we'll have some more to add to that soon

I have some letters and autographed pictures from the GREAT PRESIDENT OBAMA and there in a frame and are doing fine. I also keep them (framed letters and pictures) in dark dry cool places so will this be o.k., ALSO should i just put them back in the envolope????????for safe keeping?????

[rowan]

i am still unclear about framing. my local framers say they use glass thats treated to preven fading in daylight. but theres no way to stop the autograph from touching it

i use standard sleeves for files which are about a quid for 50.are these ok?

ok just a question I had yet to find any acid-free photo sleeves I have looked everywhere Office Depot,Walmart,Target and had no luck I have some now that dont have a plastic smell are they ok to use? and I use some photo paper thingy that has a sticky backing to a plastic sheet to cover them for my odd sizes is that ok? (I havent had any issue's so far)

I got my first autograph ever today and I'm keeping it between the cardboard in the envelope right now. I read somewhere that I could frame the autograph if I put it on a double matted frame so then the photo won't touch the glass and it would be safe, is this true? I still have to look for acid free sleeves which is hard to find in Hong Kong. Also how long can I keep the photo in the envelope before ruining it because it'll be a while till I can afford to buy something to keep it in.

Idk, all my autographs are framed in my office. There is never any direct sunlight in there but it isn't totally black.. I have like 45 8 x10 photo's framed, I used black $1 frames from the dollar store. I have like 14 11x17 and 9 or 10 11x14 posters that are framed in $4 mainstay frames from walmart...Also have a few 27x40 movie posters that are framed with a plastic $20 movie poster frame. I have other ones that are kept in clear 8x10 sleeves in a bin in the closet. I have them up for a few years, no issues. If I ever saw anything getting effected or changing I would pull them all down and reevaluate my framing situation. To be honest I can't justify spending more for framing then I do on the autographs,
