Frame Recommendation for Displaying 8x10 Autographed Photo
 
Do any of you have a recommendation for a good frame for displaying an 8x10 autographed photo? I know that I want glass that protects from UV. How do I keep the autograph from touching the glass? Should I get an 11x14 inch frame with an 8x10 mat that keeps the photo/autograph from touching the glass? (I am making the assumption that the autograph will slowly come off onto the glass if it touches the glass..... correct me if I'm wrong.)

Thank you!

Brad,
You are correct that over time, the autograph ink has a tendency to stick to the glass. There are ways to separate a photo from the glass without a matt, but using a matt is usually the most aesthetically appealing way to do it, IMO.
Obviously the color scheme of the frame and matt vary depending on various factors including team colors, colors within the photo itself, etc.
I started a thread topic about my own adventures matting and framing. Perhaps it can give you some ideas.
