I put them in 5 inch binders with plastic non acid sleeves. If anyone knows if there is such thing as a 6 inch binder let me know...lol

that is what i have done now
it protects them from the light and it stops them getting damaged
If they do it CORRECTLY, they can be framed!

I was debating doing that :) I'm in the process of stripping my wall from them at the moment, I am going to keep my like top 20 favourites in frames and frame them properly then for the others I was thinking of getting the acid free sleeves and making a picture wall out of them rather than having them in individual frames, I just need to find some acid free sleeves lol

YES. it sticks to the frame and if u don't keep them outta the sunlight it will fade!
And if what I said thus far isn't direct a=enough...here it is step by step:

Instructions--

1
Keep it flat. Never roll the photograph, like you could do with a poster. Place the photograph in an archival/acid-free sleeve. These can be found in any arts and crafts store.

2
Keep the bagged photo between two pieces of acid-free foam board 1 inch bigger than your photograph all the way around. Tape each side shut. Write a description of the photo on top of the board with a thin felt-tip marker.

3
Keep it in a space that has a controlled temperature. Never leave it where there is excessive heat or cold as it can manipulate and ruin the photograph.

4
Frame the photograph. This method is highly recommended because not only do you get protection, but you also get to view and enjoy your signed photograph.

5
Find a frame that fits your photo. You can either frame it the same size as your photo -- most signed photographs are 8 by 10 --- or put a mat around it. Mats are the thick paper type border that can be placed around your picture in any color. Mats keep the photo from sticking to the glass.

6
Add a mat. If using a mat, the frame should be about 2 inches larger all the way around than the photograph. If your photo is 8 x 10, the next standard size frame would be 11 x 14. Make sure the mat is acid free as otherwise the acid from the mat will slowly eat away at your photo. Use acid-free tape on the top back of the photo to secure it to the mat.

7
Add spacers instead of a mat If you choose to keep the photo and frame the same size. You can get spacers from most frame shops. Spacers are thin, plastic lengths that are cut and taped against the inside of the glass, giving your photograph to have space to breathe. A photograph should never touch the glass as it can stick and be destroyed.

8
Use acid-free foam board as the backing for your framed photograph instead of cardboard. Cardboard is acidic and will deteriorate your photograph over time.

9
Use conservation glass to frame photo. This type of glass protects your photograph from ultraviolet light, which is not only in sunlight, but in your house lights as well. Keep your photograph out of direct light.

Direct enough for you? :mrgreen:

I was debating whether to matte a few of my favourites as I can't do them all as they are all in different kinds of frames and it would take forever
Well being that I already told you it DAMAGES the photo and the autograph why are you still fighting with me like you don't believe me! :roll: It damages the autograph because it's not suppose to touch the glass. That's what a MATTE is for: it's a little thick and keeps from touching the glass. This is easy to comprehend. Either you wanna keep your favorites looking good or you ya don't. {up}
