It really varies with the article that gets signed. I get press kit photos signed, those get put into a binder with the rest of the press kit. Unless it's a press kit from 2001-present which means everything is saved to a CD, then I have to convert the .tif photo and print it. Those go in a binder as well.
If it's a poster (promotional mini or full sized) they get dry mounted and shrink wrapped. and placed into a frame box with the rest of the collection.
If it's a magazine, hard cover or soft cover novel or comic book these get bagged and boarded and put a label on them stating who signed it, where (live or TTM) and when (month and year)
If it's a banner it gets rolled and boxed up for later display.
If it's a trading card, bagged and boxed.
If it's a DVD cover of CD cover, it goes back into the original case.
If it's something I got signed for someone else, I'll frame it and ship it. I have piggybacked their request with mine (or vice versa) and gotten two or more items signed. I'll catalogue mine in the binder and treat theirs like a precious gem, buy selected the perfect frame (<$10 @ Walgreens or Wal-Mart) and ship it with no notice and wait for their squeal of delight through the phone to announce they received it!
I am kind of picky about which items I release to celebrities. I have been burned as we all have, sending off something precious and personal only never to see or hear from it again. Hope this helps.
