they are mostly in psa holders. I'm worried about the suns uv/uva rays dulling the cards. Does psa slabs protect my cards from that, thanks in advance.

No. They will fade in direct sunlight.

There was a post a year ago on another forum wherein a collector showed before and after pictures of PSA cards exposed to sunlight for a few months. The cards were severely "lightened".

Instead of a physical display, how about a "virtual display" on a website?

A - HAAAAA!!! Finally. I get to, for the first time, contribute at least SOME knowledge to this forum instead of just opinions. (lolol - really - this is a VERY big moment for me.)

I am Director of Quality for a company that makes personal safety equipment, inlcuding welding lenses. I have a very expensive piece of test equipment in our lab - a spectrophotometer - that we use to scan welding lenses to make sure that they are blocking all of the radiation that is harmful to the human eye. It scans the radiation spectrum from UV through visible and into the near IR ranges.

I wondered if slabs would prevent fading too. Instead of finding out on one of my cards, I used a PSA slab that had once contained an E93 Donovan PSA 1. I break out PSA 1 cards automatically, and usually save the two halves.

I had one of my Techs scan the Donovan slab, being careful to shoot it through the clear middle instead of the textured borders.

It does not block UV. I don't remember - the actual scan and transmittance curve is in my desk drawer at work - but it allows transmittance of a substantial portion of the UV rays. I swear I will scan the scan (hee) and post it in the near future!

Finally. Knowledge. Trivial, yes, but knowledge nonetheless.

Joann

I did not expect psa slabs to be that sophisticated. You would figure they charge enough to grade the card they would at least come up with a uv protected slab. again , i heard PRO is the only grader to offer full protection.Check this out.

If they used polycarbonate it would naturally block UV. (That's what they make a lot of sunglass and Rx eyeglasses out of - and then advertise UV protection when it is actually a natural property of the material.) But I'm not sure you can sonic weld PC, and I'm pretty sure they are sonically welding slabs to seal them. So if it were UV blocking it might not assemble.
