Preserving a signed NFL Helmet

So I took the plunge and ordered a helmet from Sure Shot this morning. Going to New England Picture tomorrow (Manchester NH) to look at their cases even though the ones on their site aren't exciting. I saw some nice ones online with a laser etched pats logo and a mirrored back, kind of hoping they have something similar.

Anyway, aside from putting it in a case to minimize the number of hands touching it, what else should/can I do to make the signature last without altering the appearance of the helmet or causing it to become worthless overnight?

Other than NE Picture, any people in New England have a good place to buy a case in person, or will the best ones all be online?

Like anything else some cases are better than others. It all comes down to how much you want to spend on a case. The best ones are the UV glass cases but they are pricey, If you just get a regular glass case and keep it out of direct light you should be ok. I have had helmets in plain glass cases for 15 years and the signature is fine.

The shriner's show will be running in Lexington in early November if I remember my timetables and there ought to be vendors there with cases.   Steiner cases, which I have a number of, are also very good and reasonable when they run their fire sales.  Some EBAY sellers have also had steiners as well at even better prices.
