LOTR Personal Autographs, what do you do with yours?

Well i am stuck, i have 25+ personal autographs on 8x10's but i don't know what to do with them. Whether to just leave them in their protective slips in my folder or to get them all framed and mounted. I have no idea about the costs but to have them all mounted i can only imaging a price of £500 for 30 mounts and frames with 3/4 cut out holes in the mount. Does anybody here have any knowledge on frames and mounts and recommended places and costs. Any advice or help would be great

You should but some simple frames with hangers and hang them on the wall. You can get frames pretty cheap but don't get too cheap ones as they will probably fall apart!

Or you could put them on a nice photo album or something.  

I'd get your favourite few framed for the wall and keep the rest in a folder

Ahh yeah i like that idea much, better, get the lithos framed along with sean, elijah, dom and billy, and frame one sala, one lawernce, one noble, one serkis, one deagol and a bruce and keep the rest in the folder

Keep in mind that they tend to fade after a while if displayed... it depends on the quality of ink and photo paper they are as well

Ben, if I remember correctly, did you not sell your FOTR Legolas (the same one on ebay now) a while back? I remember Roz giving your auctions a bit of advertising on the Topps board. Just curious

Jo i did yeah but the *cough* b*****d never paid, and nor did the ebayer who won the Bilbo!!!! The legolas winner, was a private ebayer - '40mikemike40' or something like that and never kept to the agreement, he wanted to make payments through bid pay when i havn't got bidpay, he wouldn't co-operate and wouldn't email back so i got the listing fees back and end of auctions fees back. The Man/Woman (i will never know) who won bilbo never paid so i got the listing and ending fees back on that too. I best post this on the topps board incase anybody is thinking i am out to shaft a collector
