How To Preserve Your Autographs

[twin]

I would just like to add that if you frame your photos dont let the photo touch the glass!!!! Over time the photo will stick to the glass and damage your photograph. Make sure you place a mat in the frame 1st or you can put them in a acid free plastic sleeve and them fram them.

But what about a PLAIN plastic sleeve?

This is kind of a dumb question, and I don't know if it makes sense, but.
If u put ur pic in one of those acid free plastic sleeves (the kind that u put in a binder, that has the 3 holes on the side) and then put it in a frame, will that work? Thanks!

My autographs are in either glass or perspex fronted frames. I don't know if that's good or not.

But a lot of other autographs we have in our house are from stamp and autograph companies and have already been framed with those materials... so I'm not sure if actually glass and perspex is OK to use, as professionals do.

Question:

The following plastic sleeves sold at eBay are marked as acid-free.


Is it safe to assume that all PP (polypropylene) sleeves are therefore acid free?
Thanks!

wow, that's really cool, what address did you use? pm me!!

I would want to say to preserve it just like the pictures, it seems logical....but I would take the advice from the mods or admins.... {thumb2}

i just used the bucking ham palace address....but i also went to wikiHow and jsut type in writing to the Queen....itll tell you all about etiquette and proper word usage....but be nice....dont go right out there and ask for an autograph. askk something like "what do you like to do in your spare time?". thats what i did. they sent along an info sheet about the Queens working day. but i also wanteds her to know a bit about me to i decided to tell her in my first paragraph who i am, where i go to school, what i like to do in my spare time(sports, hobbies) and what my plans were for post secondary edu....
they will usually give you a personalized letter....based on all of the ones i have seen

***remember***its the Queen....dont be rude.....be more polite to her than you would your mother

Use anything acid and PVC free (plastic sleeves, binder, etc.). Look on the label if it says "archival safe" you are you to go!

I go to a lot of concerts and with most artists that I go to see I have a pretty good chance of meeting them and get my pic made with them. So the next time I go see them and know for sure I'll meet them again..I take my pic to WalMart and blow it up to an 8x10 and have them to sign it. Then I usually buy clear laminating sheets and run them through my laminator. It seems to work pretty well I think.
