How Can I Best Preserve This Autograph?

I received the autographed postcard at this link http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll31 ... signed.jpg
and being new I am not sure how to best preserve it since it is on postcard and signed in what appears to be regular gel type pen as opposed to sharpie. At least it looks real to me (I hope it is), but could be an autopen. It made it to me through the mail so maybe it is not as fragile and prone to rub off as it looks to me to be. I would appreciate any suggestions. I would like to display it but have read that framing is not the best idea. Can someone please help a newbie out? Thanks.

Well I buy ACID FREE plastic slips. I also have a photo album, but i have to peel every time i replace an autograph, so it's best if I just put it in a slip.

I would put it in a sleeve like that- THEN put it in a frame- just not in direct sunlight.

Hope I Helped!

Thanks so much Selenaanddemifan. I will do that prior to framing. I appreciate you helping a newcomer!
