Different size autographs 'they' send you [problem]

This sounds really ungrateful but I prefer it when celebs send 8x10's. Ink is low so I can't print off big photos at the moment but I would love Judi Dench and Bill Nighy's autograph but they send smaller photos. If I put them in my folder they just look silly because its full with 8x10's. Each photo is in a sleave protecter so you can't see the next one behind it because its the same size. But if I added 4x6's they just look stupid so is there a way round this. I did think of tacking them to 8x10 sizish card but I am not sure :? Sounds really bad as its just an autograph but I like to keep my folder neat :wink: Any help from anyone?

Thanks alot :mrgreen:

I can't understand why you only want 8 x 10s and nothing else :?

What's wrong with other sizes?

So, if you can see an autograph behind another in your album, that is catastrophy? :P

I like different sizes, for me the picture/motive/signature/everything else are more important than the size

You could always purchase photo pages. They come with pocket sizes of 8.5x11, 5x7, and 6x4.

I woud purchase some of these, put them in a binder, and order the pages according to the size of the photo.

I would discourage any action entailing tacking or taping the autograph

Hi TheMailman :D

Why don't you go get your photos professionally printed at a photo lab? It doesn't cost that much for an 8x10 photo (depending on where you go I guess) and the quality is really good {up} I guess you could do this until you get more ink for your printer. Or ... just get more ink for your printer (although probably expensive).

Additionally, you can do as rpbluesman said and get photo pages. I'm not sure where you can get them - but I would assume that you could get them at places where they sell good photo albums and related stuff.

Volante - Some people have preferences for photo sizes for their autographs. Others just prefer to have the autograph in their collection :wink:

dude why dont you just buy a 6x4 sized little photo album. Thats what I use to store my smaller autographs and they only cost 69p from Wilkos.....that is if you live in England and have got a Wilkos near you.

I have a Wilko's near me :mrgreen: Ive tried tacking the autograph to paper and then storing it in my folder but after a while the pressure of tack leaves indents around the sleeve protector. I don't really like to go to the trouble of getting them proffesionally done, only to find out I never get a reply. I don't know :(

Heres an Idea...

Why not send Bill Nighy an 8x10 pic as he is really good at personally signing, and I'm sure he would sign it for you. Then you've only got a couple more 8x10's to get.
But again even if you don't, be happy with the autograph not the dimension...

I know but I wanted to get round the whole sending your own photo thing :(
