Scott , instead of putting them in a safe deposit box why don't you just send them to me and I'll take good care of them for you....
Seriously PLEASE note previous post !!!! AVOID those plastic top loaders , They are OK short term ...but the best thing to house vintage autographs in for the long haul are acid free mylar holders , they can be purchased in a variety of sizes are quite attractive , less expensive and your BEST source for them is usually someone who sells stamp collecting supplies

Is a mylar sleeve inside a top loader okay as long as the item/paper is not touching the hard plastic?

Good Question, I'm thinking that would probably work as long as the plastic holder was large enough and the mylar housing small enough so as not to cause wrinkling. The only question would be.....would the chemicals used in the plastic have the potential to bleed through the mylar over time factoring in humidity etc. ? I don't know the answer to that one.

Thanks - every autograph I have purchased has arrived in a top loader, except the ones from RR, so I made the faulty assumption that they were acid-free.

Yeah, I'm not totally sure either. I have a lot of stuff stored that way so I get the Mylar chemical protection and the rigid protection against creases with a top loader.

Anyone else ever hear if this may cause problems over time?
