Framing Autographs

Will this in anyway damage the autograph?

Thanks

Framing generally will not harm autographs if it is done correctly. Unless you know how to frame professionally, however, you should not attempt to do it yourself. Framed autographs, and materials such as photographs that are framed with them, should touch only acid-free, archival quality materials. Since even conservation glass does not filter out 100% of ultraviolet rays, hang framed autographs away from direct sunlight direct and other intense light. Avoid fluorescent lights, which are common in office environments, because they also emit ultraviolet rays. To minimize problems with moisture and heat, avoid hanging framed autographs on outside and basement walls, above working fireplaces and radiators, and in places with extreme fluctuations in temperature and humidity. A stable, cool, dry environment is best. Hope this Helps! Happy Collecting!

I frame mine in those cheap plastic frames that stick out a few inches when you hang them. I've had a few that have been up for a few years and there's been no fading, it's also in pretty direct sunlight, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
