I was curious about something when I was looking at putting my skinnier autograph
cards into 9 pocket sleeves for easier display/browsing.
I use Ultra Pro 9-pocket pages (with the hologram inserted in the margin where the holes are punched). I know they should be PVC free and safe for archiving. My initial thought is to put the cards right in the pages (as long as they aren't too thick to fit) but I wonder about if the ink from the autos will leech into the page surface and was thinking about if penny sleeves might prevent that if I'm able to put the card in a penny sleeve and slide it into one of the nine pockets on a page.
I suppose you could also reason that if the ink is going to leech or stick to the pocket page, it would do the same to the penny sleeve, and I suppose the way you store it also would affect the likelihood of the signature coming off (i.e. if you store the binder flat on its back or set it upright like a book so you don't have the weight of all the cards/pages pushing the inner surface of a page onto the card surface).
What have you guys found when putting auto cards in 9 pocket pages as far as ink from the autograph rubbing off or how safe it is for storage to put the card directly into the page?
Thanks for your input as I try to figure out what's best for storage/browsing.
