do you recommend either of these storage boxes for autographed photos? which one would/do you prefer or recommend? if none, how do you store your photos?

depends on how many you have to store and how many more you plan on obtaining and how much storage space you have for the boxes along with how each graph is indv, stored. i know you do alot of graphing, are photos your next thing your expanding into? or have you cam along several and just want to store them?

each has its merrit i say the above becasue the card board you have to order 5 boxes and the plastic be it more costly your getting just one for the cost. and if it was me, and i dont collect photos as you may, i would opt for the plastic becasue i would have fewer to house. but if its a long term endevor to get more then cardboard is the way to go here, just as long as each graph is seperatly sleeved just as cards are.

hope that helps good luck in the graphing would love to see your collection someday.

hi dave, nice to hear from you friend. I am thinking about getting back into collecting autographed 8x10 photos as im getting bored with my current pcs. i think im going to try to collect one autographed photo from the top 100 all time greatest los angeles dodgers (my favorite team) i have quite a bit of them already and was debating of either keeping them in albums or trying to put them all in a couple of these cardboard or plastic boxes, individually sleeved. i will try uploading some photos of my progress in my photobucket. hope your doing well.

okay looking forward to the pics, but when you store them maybe look at the indvidual toploaders that are commonly called page protectors, like these, this is just so you can see what they look like..http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/500587/Avery-Multi-Page-Capacity-Sheet-Protectors/

never use an adhesive album they will overtime destroy the picture.

but im sure you know all of this already, i just as a fellow collector want to make sure that you know so you dont loose this collection to any mistakes.

and until you choose the final holding space for them these page protectors will allow you to hose them in a 3 ring binder too.

thanks dave, i always appreciate your help and responses. i was thinking of putting each signed photo into a soft sleeve, then a hard top loader, then into a "team set" type bag with a cardboard backing, then into one of those boxes. still trying to test out different storage techniques until i can find a good long term solution. will try to post pics as i get them in. hope your doing well. thanks again
