Is it safe to keep them in some sort of paper based album, sort of similar to the type of album you put wedding photos in?

Personally i have been collecting for many year's about 11 to be exact.I have framed most of mine and i have never had a problem with that the sunlight is what kill's them overtime.A room with window's should be kept closed sunlight can be a big killer in time.

I have a brand of sleeves called Avery Poly-Vu. Does anyone know if this brand is acid-free? I have been collecting since April/May 2008 and none are damaged so far, but I know it takes a long time to actually be damaged.

Also, they don't have a 'plastic smell' like it said in one post. I got these at Wal-Mart but they were the only good brand I saw. {up}

I have mine mounted on acid free scrapbooking paper (using acid-free photocorners...nothing sticks on the autographs at all) and slipped them into acid-free sleeves in a scrapbook album.

Is this a safe way to keep them?

Honestly I have no idea, but I've been storing mine it a scrap book too. I imagine it'll be fine since scrapbooks are designed to store things for a lifetime
