Autographed Sports Illustrated Storage?

I'm thinking about jumping into collecting these, as they make a nice large format for an autograph, seem to display well, and there's a good selection of covers out there to choose from. Before I do, however, I want to research the best way to preserve them. I'm thinking of a binder with heavy sleeves if they exist would be a good way to thumb through them to view them without actually handling them and keeping them in as good of condition as possible.

Any and all thoughts and ideas are welcome!

  • Thanks I like the backing board idea but do you know if they sell any that can be stored in a binder for easier viewing?

    this is why I do signed cards...storage...but I see why people enjoy them
  • They sell toploads for magazines as well, not sure how well they hold SIs specifically though.

    I have had 1 done, thing is huge. Have to admit though, I really don't like the plastic support sleeve they use, not strong enough for heavy mags. Other than that, I love it.

    I have seen comic books in binders, I don't have a link but I know they exist. A dealer at a flea market I went to always had them.

    lol I just did a quick ebay search and found these idk if it helps:

    I know someone who uses a binder, normal 1 hole pages and puts the mag and a backing board in there. The pages are open on top, but it does make for easy viewing. Though, I guess you could carefully tape the top shut.
