Need info on storing and displaying
Hello everyone. I am new to ttm. I have started to get back some autographs and now I need to know how to store them. I have 9 pocket pages and a binder. I was wondering if when I put the cards in if it will bend the corners. Also are the autographs okay to be in the pages. I also plan to get some picture back 8x10 and 5x7. Also have some signed concert tickets. Can I frame and display them? Should I put them in some other kind of protection other than a glass frame? Should I just put them in a binder? I know its a ton of questions but I'm working hard to get these autographs and want to do what is best. Thank you all

@lbeadles i usually store mine in hard plastics with penny sleeves i have had a few stored in binders that where placed in penny sleeves and they have lasted a good 10 years. Photos i use poly plastic 8x10 i believe they were on amazon. I have a friend that swears by the photo sleeves from amazon. Damage just be as careful and gentle as possible and don't be afraid to stretch the pocket a little before you put the card in.If you have any other questions dont hesitate to shoot me a message. Best of luck on the returns.

Great advise from above. I would add that you mentioned wanting to frame and display some items? Just remember sunlight is a huge factor in degrading ie fading ink. I have a Foreman/Ali that I mistakenly hung in an area of my house that got too much sunlight and the signatures are just faded horribly! I should have known better, but had to show off a great piece.... LOL that did not work out well!

I store mine in pages. Some worry about them sticking but Ive had some of my TTMS in pages for 10+ years, and theyre fine.
