How Do You Display Your Autographs?
I keep my TTM cards, photos, index cards, and HOF signed postcards in a binder that is in my room. I am considering framing some of the duplicates and hanging them on my wall, but part of me is hesitant to put something so precious out in the open. My signed baseballs are in a box that is in my closet to keep them out of the sun.
My father keeps his entire collection on the floor of his closet and under his bed. He is completely against the idea of having his collectibles on display.
Now, I don't mean "Do you keep your baseballs in a plastic cube?" I mean, do you have a display in your home or office of your collection? Or do you keep them in a box under your bed because you're afraid to keep them out in the open?
I know that a lot of people on this site get dozens of cards TTM each week. Do you keep them in binders that you keep out? Do you have them in plastic cases that you show in a display case?
Basically, it seems like there's a lot of professional collectors on this site and I am interested in finding out how you show off your collection.

I keep all of my autographed baseballs in a cube down in my basement. I have an older house, so the basement has minimal natural light, ex: sun shining in.
all of my graphed cards and jerseys likewise. I have none of full display with the only exception being my framed lithograph of Ted Williams, autographed by Ted himself. It's a really nice, really expensive piece so I display it on my living room wall, but in a corner of the house where minimal sunlight shines. All of my less valuable balls etc are also kept in my basement, maybe one day they'll be worth more, but I'm not a seller anyway. Just collecting to ultimately leave behind for my son when he is old enough to care for and appreciate them.

I have the cards signed in toploaders. Index cards are in a small album. Everything else (8x10s and smaller) in albums.

I just keep them in boxes and binders in my man-cave. Not b/c of sunlight issues just b/c displying them is not realy my style, excpet for a few balls spread around on non-sun-lit bookcases.
