I put my autographs in a acid free and archival safe scrap book. Hope this helps.

I also put my real autographs in a scrapbook I got in a craft store for like $10. I keep the fakes and sfm on my bookshelf.

Well for my autographed photos, I keep them in sheet protectors with an acid free hard backing, in binders which I keep on a shaded shelf out of sunlight. For my autographed trading cards, I usually keep them in soft sleeves, and then in a hard shell. In the US, I find Ultra-Pro to be a good brand to look to for card sleeves and plastic shells. Models and 3D objects are different, and special. Make sure you store your autographs in a nice and cool environment. Attics get too hot, and basements are too damp. When using any storage materials make sure it is acid and PVC free, or it might "eat" into the ink. Also do not use vinyl materials as over time it may peel the autograph off of the photo/trading card. If you cannot get sheet protectors or card sleeves I reccommend placing the autographs between sheets of acid free printer paper. It usually tells u if it is acid free or not on the pack of paper. Hope this helps! Happy Collecting.
