Bohan Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 what it's actually sticking and when you put the autograph away you can see bits of the ink on the wallet? if so how long have they been stored in there? And did you let them properly dry before placing them in the wallets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie22 Posted October 18, 2003 Author Share Posted October 18, 2003 Be warned all those that hang autographs in picture frames on the wall: sunlight can do more damage than you might realise. ~fadagaski~ I have mine on a wall that gets no daylight on it; thats one good thing about this room! But its a good tip for people; even newspaper clippings fade over time and look real nasty, so always take care of anything on paper that you want to keep. Dude, even if the sun isnt directly on them, I'd still be careful. I jus speak from experience, up until about 6 months ago, i had a room covered wall to wall and the ceiling in posters, and even ones which weren't in direct sunlight were damaged. Not so much as the direct sun ones, obv... But just a warning.. I'm guessing signed photos are more valuable than my Zack Morris posters :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you let them properly dry before placing them in the wallets? yes, there are little golden spots on my sleeves from the autographed pictures. and yes i let them properly dry before i stuck em in the sleeves. and it's just the photos signed in gold from c4. the other pictures aren't affected.

Spikesbird Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I've got mine in the plastic wallets that lots of sellers had at C4. I think they are made by Ultra Pro of something like that. They are acid free so your photos won't get damaged in the long run, also they are more durable than the normal A4 pockets you can get, they are made of thicker plastic and are clearer to look through. they have, I think three holes down the side, I brought a binder from one of the sellers too to store them in. Did anyone else have trouble with the photo toploaders you can get for £1? Mine made some of Sean Astin's autograph rub off slightly, grrr!

Bohan Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 yeah i have lots of mine in the ultra pro pocket pages, i think they are probably the best stoage solution for signed phots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikesbird Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I think so too. I did see some pocket pages made especially for photos but they really cost alot more than I could afford for all mine. I think they was something like 10 for £8.

dark_ladymoon Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I know some poeple disagree but when they have been signed i place post-it notes over them this makes sure that it doesnt smudge or stick to the plastic, I also have a slim rigid box whoch i got in the stationary box. This is a bit bulky but keeps it noce and safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyrdsister Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I keep my signed pics and posters framed. I have hard plastic sleeves that I take to shows, but a word of advice, anything signed in gold or silver takes ages to dry, even if it feels touch dry. it will be ok in the sleeve for a bit but I get it out, mounted and framed ASAP. if you're framing, mount it, it'll keep the signature away from the glass. I had some nasty surprises and I always mount mine from now on. And true enough, sunlight can do a lot of damage to photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie22 Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Pro Select Brand have top loaders named as suitable for signed 8x10's, are the sort of things I was looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle longbottom Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I want to put mine in 8'11 frames and hope to get some soon Kyle Longbottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flinty Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 i had no trouble with the ones signed using sharpies but the paint pen ones i got (corey,brent and the lurtz guy)all got stuck to the plastic think it has a lot to do with the pen used the pro select sleeves are best as they're acid free and archival quality you can get a box of 100 for about 15.00 at most fairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit comfused as to what is the best way to protect my 8x10 , coz from what i'v read so far the best way is to fram them and put it in a light proff box ...how about framing using a sun blocking glass - i don't knew what you call it , but it is avilebul Edited November 2, 2003 by Nili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
