If your going for a plastic frame it would be good to go with something acid/PVC free, but I don't think glass type matters since it won't be touching the photo itself and therefore won't damage the photo.

Typically you'll need to buy the matte spacer seperately from the frame, but I know higher ends frames come with matte peices already installed and you simply pop the back off, put the photo in and put back panel back into place.

This link will be very helpful to you I'd think. along the right side it features videos of how to matte and frame a photo. {up} some of the info you won't need, f you buy the matte peices pre-cut to the photo you plan on framing.

You can use any frame you want, it's only that need a spacer between the photo and the frame called a 'Matte' board. It's a peice of cardboard that fits around the inside of the frame to keep the photo off the glass. {up}

I really want to frame to of my autos (8x10s) that I got (since its of me and the celeb), where could i find good frames that wont ruin the autograph? (ordering online is out of the question so i'd have to buy at like walmart, target, or some art store)

Thanks
