Should You Frame Autographs?

Simple answer, no! Framing autographs or signed photos can be a costly business and in many cases may ruin your valuable signed item. We see a lot of framed items that have been ruined by careless framers, and framing an item will make it far more difficult to sell at a later date.

Do autographs stick to glass?

It can be humid weather, steam or even a pipe breaking that can cause humidity to rise. We combat this by matting the picture. This allows air to move around the picture reducing moisture. The moisture causes mold and can make the ink stick to the glass, especially on glossy prints.

How do you frame an autograph?

You can either frame it the same size as your photo -- most signed photographs are 8 by 10 — or put a mat around it. Mats are the thick paper type border that can be placed around your picture in any color. Mats keep the photo from sticking to the glass. Add a mat.
