hang the frame on your wall as a trophy, if the autograph means that much to you, you shouldn't put it through any risk of ruining it

If the autograph is written in Sharpie, clearcoat will cause the ink to run - essentially ruining what you want to protect. Do as solbro said and stick some clear vinyl tape over it.
