[Charmer]

I keep mine in 3 folders at the moment. Not much room on my walls really. May put some of my fave ones up in future though when I have a bigger place, but not yet.

I have one (my very first) framed and it sits on my mantlepiece (hanging heaving things on my walls is all but impossible) the rest of my 8x10s are in a folder.

 

The only things that are put up on my wall are theatre and show tickets (most of the way down my 4th column of those just since June 2008), with all the corresponding signed programmes in a strong plastic box (need to get another one soon, or a bigger one).

I have a James Marsters signed pic on the wall but my other half came with me and got the same picture signed so I have it twice

I keep all mine in folders, quite shamefully under my bed XD ThoughI have a large torchwood picture that i have on the side of my wardrobe, facing away from the sun, as its too big to put anywhere else XD

This is what I think:

 

If you are going to get something framed do the following;

 

Get a generic sized mount with backing, but not the economy kind - use either whitecore OR expensive archival mount (only if you have something that is genuinely worth over £500-1000).

 

The reason I say get a generic sized mount is because it is easier to frame these.

 

The glass some people have talked about is not glass at all. It is perspex. When framing anything of any actual value or worth to yourself or to the public then perspex is the way to go. For those of you who aren't familiar with this, glass has no uv protection. You can buy plexiglass (perspex) with/without uv protection. As long as you keep your item out of the Sun buy the unprotected stuff. There really is no point buying something you do not need.
