I would not recommend framing any autograph in a topload. Safest way to frame any signed item is with a mat or spacers keeping any surface from touching the photo or the ink on that photo.

You don't want the plastic topload, the plexi or the glass touching the signature.

Pete,
I use this to frame my signatures, mostly LP's:

I just put the sleeve around my album and put it like that in a cheap frame. You don't recommend this? I thought it is the best option. Could it hurt the signature? Because if you store them in a closet, they touch the plastic too. I don't want to professionally frame all my items, would be way too costly.

The sleeves are archival and acid free. Pressing them against glass and then the sleeve against the autograph, you may find the autograph stuck inside the sleeve instead of on the album, at some point in the future.
