hello, i have recently learnt that putting your autographs in glass frames can damage the photo.
i don't spend a lot of money on the frames.
so how do you display your autographs :D

Do you MATTE the ones you frame??? Because it's HORRIBLE for the autograph to TOUCH THE GLASS! Beware about that because it harms the autographs (THE SIGS!)

I use a binder and I display my rare ones byt MATTING Them first then framing them. :mrgreen:

i didnt know this but its happened to my john bishop picture
its damages the autograph because the picture sometimes sticks to the glass.

Glossy photos especially can stick to the glass frame after some time. Which will ruin the photo and the autograph.

Plus is you use the cheap $5-$10 frames from stores like Walmart or Target. If any of the material touching the photo is NOT archival safe/acid free. The photo will deteriorate and get ruined a lot faster over time.
