Ha! Yeah this guy went all out to try and preserve the auto's...it's unfortunate but hey they still make for great displays and probably don't have to worry about fading!

Brandon,
In answer to your question:

"I mean, what's the difference between having something in a plastic tomb or having it in a plastic permanent sheet?"

There is one obvious big difference to note. A PSA holder can easily be cracked open by a collector like me that doesn't want to look at the holder, not the signature. If you entomb signatures in a permanent sheet such as the trifecta that you showed, you will never ever get the original signature out of there without all the nasty remnants of the collector's OCD moment.

Yes, I totally agree with you Scott...I was just hoping that if I could convince some of you to start laminating your autographs maybe mine would go up in value! Just Kidding. Seriously, I think I paid $50 for the entire lot which included 15 sheets like this all auto'd and laminated. So, although not worth much they are cool and I like 'em and for me that's good enough. When it comes to me paying full price for an auto I would never buy a taped over, traced or laminated or probably even shellacked for that matter.
