I have thought about loaning things to Historical Societies, and others, for show, As I collect many baseball pre war things besides cards, part of my concern, if I use cards, is how to avoid fading? Sun is not the only type of light that fades cards, but indirect light, flourescent light, and other types does have a very negative impact on paper. let your newspaper sit out on your deck for 4 hours this summer, and then go take a look at it. This is the one thing that has stopped me. Now, bats, balls, metal objects, aren't so sensitive. Slabs do not filter out UV'S. Maybe PSA should start slabbing with UV filtering plastic ? (kidding)

I am on the board of the Historical Society by the way.
