Hi Mike,
I've found that the UV ball cubes do a very good job. With that said, even the best UV cubes/Glass/protection is only so good, and if you have a lot of constant sunlight hitting them, well, you're still going to have problems...just not as quickly. I definitely understand about wanting to display and enjoy your collection. The best thing to do is to use as much UV blocking as possible (cubes, uv glass on picture frames, etc), keep them out of as much daylight as possible (if you don't have a room that you can keep dark as much as possible, at least keep out of the direct sunlight), change out any light bulbs in your display areas to LED (even better if you can have them on a dimmer).
As far as cards, not sure what's out there for those. All of mine that are on display are in my darkened memorabilia room, so I don't worry about them as much.
Good luck,
Mike
