Hi Gary, we wish we knew some way to preserve all of that legibly. We're assuming it's the ticketing/booking information that you're worried about,
which already appears to be very faded -- the USAirways logos and Curry's signature should be relatively safe and stable.
It looks like the ticket is printed on paper similar to fax paper, and from what we've seen that stuff just fades until it's invisible, no matter what you do.
We've got fax pages from the pre-internet days of our roto league, which have been kept inside a closed notebook, inside a sealed box, inside a lightless
storage cabinet, and 15-20 years later they're just blank sheets now.
Hopefully someone else here might have a preservation technique for that sort of paper and ink, which we'd be as glad as you to learn. The only thing
we could do, when we first noticed how quickly and severely that sort of material fades, was to make xerox copies of the pages (copy machine ink lasts).
Unfortunately, that doesn't do much to help with what you want to show off as the genuine Curry autograph, which should maintain its integrity but,
before long, only on a blank sheet.
