Make sure nothing touches the surface of the autograph, or it'll continue to rub off :?

ozzman's suggestion is a very good idea, it'll keep the autograph in place but is still vulerable when touched.

You could try laminating the photo, it'll keep the autograph in place ... but I don't recommend it.

This happened to me too. Prime Minister Blair signed a photo for me in a gold paint pen, and now the paint is almost conpletely gone. Really all that's left of the signature is the pressure from the pen. :|

Its a paint pen. They are the devil in the autograph collecting world. LOL, I have quite a few too. The best thing to do is put in a frame, but make sure the glass is not touching the autograph. They make frames that the glass is raised from the backing, almost like a shadow box. If the autograph is in really bad shape, write a letter to the person who sent it explaining the situation. I have done both of these things many times and havent failed yet. Good Luck, I hope this helps.

thats really weird. None of my photos have ever done that before.

That's the problem though, even the acid free sleeves don't seem to be stopping it :( The pen just isn't binding at all to the photo. I'm amazed it stayed on at all through the mail, but dam glad it did :)

what do you store your autographs in? They should be stored in acid free plastic sleeves, or something of that sort.

H,
I got some autographs back recently that were written on glossy photos in a silver pen. But the moment the ink touches paper or anything it just comes straight off! I am trying to save it from coming off but I don't know how. Is there some way I can seal the ink to the picsor stop it from coming off? :(
