Mark_the_Wookiee Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Sounds like a heavy backpack. Just for those who may not be aware, autograph holders should be of archival quality and made from polyester. It is what my autograph holders are made from and my autographs thus far, have benefitted. Sorry if everyone is already aware, just trying to be helpful.These are propably sold at the con? I don't have any...I just have this folder-thingy so I don't crush them in my backbag...Have a look at Frank's Autographs. They'll be at the con and their stuff is great. A lot of us here use them and if you talk to them at the con they'll tell you the best way to store everything. I was advised by a lady at a convention once that the hard plastic autograph holders can actually strip the autograph off of the photo if left for too long Has anyone ever experienced this? I have all of my autographs in them and I'm almost too scared to check if I've ruined some of the older ones! I can't imagine they'd be so popular if they were harmful surely? They're popular because they are great for short term safe keeping, as in getting them home safely, but not suitable for long term storage. That's not to say that your graphs are ruined, you could be lucky, but i HAVE seen it happen quite a few times..the graph and part of the photo will stick to the plastic. Get something with polypropylene sheets and archival safe backing paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking around for a nice display folder for a long time now but can never figure out which one is best! Any recommendations? Thank you for the advice!

marktimelord Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Don't forget a little can of deodorant for your bag. Lets be honest when in a confined space with thousands of nerds freshening up every so often is essential. A small bottle of anti bacterial handwash is also a good idea.

Matty-lad Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Well I have my printed pictures I want signed, all the tickets (entry, photos, talk and train) and outfits sorted. Just need to worry about food and I'm sorted. Not sure my brother is anywhere near as organized though...... Good job I'm in charge of the tickets and most of the planning.

S.H.R.E.K Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I've packed my man bag for this Con already and check it on a weekly basis that I've got everything! My man bag contains: Entry Tickets Old store photoshoot tickets Printed E-Tickets (for insurance!) 15 Autograph holders Printed directions to Olympia from Barron's Court Portable charger (will be charging this again the day before) Tube map Bottled water. Have you guys got your bag/pack ready yet? :) ah, that's a point I've never even thought where I'm going to put pics n that. I just assumed there'd be good solid bags, are the pics in a cardboard card / letter or have any protection with them?
