I do have a Mitt Romney but it's on a big poster and he didn't win anyway!

I only frame my fake ones--I secure the real ones in a binder. I don't trust frames to keep the signatures archived.

Plus, hey, if you know nothing of autographs and you see a signed picture of a president hanging on someone's wall with their name inscribed on it, you'd be impressed! It's the same reason why the eBay PP business does so well--they look impressive. And you don't have to worry about UV exposure, acidity, temperature or anything else, because they're fake anyway.

Although, once a president dies, the AP signatures become more valuable due to scarcity and the fact that they can sign legal contracts, as they can't run that AP matrix anymore. PPs are never worth anything as you can reproduce them into oblivion.

I don't frame anything as weird as that sounds. I keep everything in a binder. I don't even go after APs and if I happen to get one, in the trash it goes.
