How to Protect/Preserve Autographed Sets?

Hi, some of you may have read my thread where I meet Adam Reed Tucker at a lego convention and get several autographs from him on a Robie House instruction booklet, a 1st edition sealed John Hancock Center set and a T-shirt. Recently I also acquired an Exo-Suit set signed by the great Peter Reid himself! Right now, I have the sets and instruction booklet stored inside heavy duty freezer bags and kept out of sunlight and humidity. but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to store them better, and maybe have them be more displayable? I know The Container Store has clear plastic polycarbonate boxes they make for footballs, baseballs and other sports mementos but I haven't been there in a while and do not know if they have anything that an Exo-Suit or Architecture set would fit snugly into. One other thing I'm worried about is preserving the signature. Two of the signatures are in that "silver-ink" pen, which seems sort of flaky. I'm worried it will crumble off in time. Any ideas on how to preserve them? I'd hate to have to cover the signature with a clear packing tape to preserve it. I'm never going to sell them, so any permanent changes are probably ok. Ideas?
