Queen autographs and display ideas?

Just managed to buy these four Queen autographed Christmas cards which I've been really wanting and finally managed to find a decent price (at least I think it is decent) for a group of all four. I already had Roger check them out and tell me they're all fine, but I was wondering what you guys all thought?

Also, how should I display them? Should I frame/mat them each individually with a picture, all together with a record/logo in the middle?

I don't really collect music memorabilia so this and my Grohl guitar are going to be my only music items, and I can now say that (unless a cheap, proven authentic Cobain autograph pops up) I am done my music collection :-)

I was also wondering if anything can be done about that tape? It looks like masking tape so maybe its easy to remove?

Anyone familiar with Michael's framing? I know they do a good job, but just wanted to know how much something like this would cost:

I'd leave the tape; especially since some of the inscriptions appear to be written over the tape. Since it wouldn't be able to tone due to the tape, maybe matting out tape when framing the cards would be the best way of hiding the tape.

I recommend talking to Rick Badwey about framing methods. He is a member of this site and very knowledgeable when it comes to framing. I believe he operates a framing business where you could have it framed with materials that are museum-grade archival.

Yeah I'm still not sure whether I should have them displayed all together in one piece or separately.

I think that is scellotape, rather than masking tape, as you can see through it. I agree about not removing the tape, unless you can test a bit and see if it easily removes, but I doubt it and to be honest, it wouldn't bother me at all. I like the layout of the frame you showed. I would love a picture of the band as well, but definitely all the band framed together.
What a great item it will be!
