Keeping Signature Cards Perfect

[adz2332]

Hey all,

Im slowly building up my signature card collection (Port Power Mainly).
The way i keep them is in a Ultra Pro soft sleeve and then slid them into a Ultra Pro 9 Hole Sleeve then into the binder.
But has anyone kept there signatures like this for long periods of time?
Has the signature, being pressed onto the sleeve for so long, come off? Or smudged etc etc?
Just worried that the card being pressed onto the soft sleeve for so long will, when i remove the card from the sleeve, leave some of the signature in the sleeve??
Anyone had this happen? or am i just being paranoide??

Yes I was worried about that.
I had the plastic sleeve and then into the Ultra Pro but I ended up taking the plastic sleeve of and straight into the ultra Pro

Yer was thinking that... but then didnt want dust etc getting into the sleeves etc...
has anyone ever had trouble with signatures coming off in a sleeve?

No the pages/penny sleeves you use should be acid free etc and not hurt your cards long term. Much like pages in photo albums etc.

yer the Ultra Pro Soft card sleeves read, clear polyprophlene, Archival safe, ACID FREE- NO PVC.

The holders stack, and the cards are held securely

I use a sleeve then toploader. Or just put them in a one touch or screw down.
