One suggestion - take a hammer to the slab, remove autograph and place in frame.

I think you should slab the whole frame
 ...seriously though, a regular plastic protective sleeve works better. You can frame your pics just fine with those.Maybe use a frame that is a little deeper and just use a thin piece of cardboard or regular brown paper to hold it into place. Glue it if you have to. For that matter, you don't even need a back. The pic is protected. Jam a thumbtack or a sharp object into the frame to hold the slab. You should be able to make it work. Good Luck

Framing Slabbed Pieces
Hi Charles, the best way to achieve what I think you want is to have the following done. 1. Have a Professional Picture Framer cut a MAT and a FOAM BOARD opening to the exact size of the slabbed piece. They have computerized cutting machines that do this. Each piece will be the same size and the openings will be in the same position. Simply push the slabbed item into the FOAM BOARD opening and it will hold it in place nicely. Then just lay the MAT on top of the FOAM BOARD and place it into a frame of chose that matches the size of the MAT and FOAM BOARD, say 11x14 with your opening size of 8x10. This will create a nice framed piece 11x14 with your slabbed 8x10 autographed photo showing through. My son is a Pro. Picture Framer and has done many nice framed pieces for me. If you or any board members would like his contact info please just e-mail me and I'll send it along. Jim bbcnutty@msn.com

You can do it yourself with a sharp blade or scissors too. It takes a lot patience though, and you have to be willing to destroy a few before you get it right. So maybe taking it to a professional would cost about the same in the long-run.
All of the ones you see in this photo were done by me, by hand... That said, it's lots easier to just slip them in a mylar window and frame them (as suggested above). The depth of the slab adds lots of unnecessary complexity to the process.... Last edited by perezfan; 06-17-2011 at 04:13 PM.
