What's Better Album or folder?

Unread post by HolbyCityFan1994 »

I was wondering if anyone could help, I'm slowly running out of space in my autograph folder that I'm currently holding my autographs in, and I think I should get a new one but I'm not sure whether a photo album or a usual folder would be best, most of my autographs are sized 6 x4 or 7 x5 depending on the size of the promo card. which would be best? any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I used to store all my autographs in Photo albums but however it soon got quite costly, I was getting through Photo Albums really fast so know I used (1 Photo Album) and Rest Folders.


When I first started to collect I NEVER put them in folders because the plastic pockets always used to bend and ruin my autographs, so now I put a small piece of cardboard at the back of it

If you're trying to preserve your autographs, that's a really bad idea.

Why are folders a bad idea, I have kept them in them for over 30 years and nothing has happened

The Pockets I use are acidic free and the cardboard never touches the autograph because they are in acidic free pockets.


Anyway I have had one of my autographs in there for something like 15 years and I have never had a problem.
