I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what is the best way to store signed glossy photographs for a long extended period of time(years)? I have my pictures in Avery acid free heavy duty archival sleeves right now, however someone mentioned to me over the years the autographs may lift off. Is this true? Any advice would be appreciated.

I store my 8 x 10 photos in heavy plastic top loaders and then slip them in plastic sleeves and into binders. Your photos will never bend or crease. I never expose them to sun light. I have had no problems with any liftoff of ink on any of my photos since I started collecting over 15 years ago. For those of you that are interested, I purchase the top loaders from Ohio Coin 800-592-3220. Ask for Ken and mention that you are a astronaut collector. The price is $57.00 plus shipping for 100 top loaders.
