Another question

[hils]

Well, it looks like I will be going to Collectormania next month which brings me to another question.

What does one traditionally do with autographed photos? I have a whole bunch that are currently just sat in an envelope on my bookcase. I don't really have the wallspace or funds to frame them all so what do you guys do?

I'm not sure yet. LOL. I only just decided I'm going

What about creating an album?

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds like a sensible idea :)

I have all of mine in a big folder, all in order, with anything else that goes with them (tickets/programmes etc.) with them. Occasionally I do wonder if I have mild OCD

You mean like a ringbinder sort of thing and plastic wallets?

[eleclya-m.livejournal.com]

Yup, tho you have to be careful that it's definitely dry when you put it in the plastic wallet. I've got a box folder too for anything that won't fit in plastic wallets

Ok! That sounds like a good plan!

Scrapbook! With the autographed photo on one page and other photos/highlights of the con/event/whatever on the other page. If there's more than one autographed photo then I hope I have enough event photos/memories to keep it consistent (I usually do the collage on the left side and the autographed photo on the right side with a blank set of pages in between and on the right side of the blanks I put the Con theme/program or a print out of the website or a poster/flyer if I can snag one).

Hmm...I like that idea. Dunno where I would get a scrapbook from though. Haven't had one since I was a little kid

When you come to the states again (El Paso perhaps??) ask someone (really anyone) for directions to the local scrapbooking store. I am not kidding that they are EVERYWHERE, it is quite the American obsession

[hils.livejournal.com]

Really? I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

My scrap of old French book with Anita Dobson's autograph lies in the bottom of a drawer.

Hee!

I put mine in protector pages in a binder and look at them from time to time.

I was going to suggest a scrapbook, cause they are huge in the states right now, but how about a regular photo album. They have the ones that have acid free(important so the pages don't yellow or allow the ink to fade) sticky page ones that you can get pretty cheap. Well, at least over here. An online store would also have all the scrapbooking needs, you could try ebay or the Memories site. Memories is a huge and long standing company that makes scrapbook everything.

Any funny stories attached to any of your autographs?

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I'm trying to think. Apart from the time James Marsters groped me, no, I don't think so

[sussixer.livejournal.com]

WHAT? A comment like that needs details!!!

[hils.livejournal.com]

You can read the post about it. LOL
