Will our autographs deteriorate many years from now?

[WOODMO]

As long as my autographs last for the majority of my life I'm happy. What happens after that isn't much concern since I bet my eventual kids will think it's all crap and junk it anyway.

Is it really a bad thing to frame your autographs? I am quite new to collecting and I have framed two of my TTM successes and one IP. They are out of direct sunlight and well looked after. Could doing this damage my collection in a major way? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Framing them is okay, just make sure you have a 'spacer' put in between the photo and the glass, or overtime the photo will stick to the glass from moisture and it will be ruined.

Thanks for the response, definately be making a spacer or framing in acid free pockets.

Real photographs should last at least your lifetime. If u frame them keep them in a room without windows if possible. Inkjet photos are garbage and fade out and get green and pink tint to them over time or in sunlight so buy real photos.

I've had some inkjet photos for 10 years now, and haven't had a problem with those.. so far
