UV effects on vintage baseball bats ?
Posted By: E, Daniel
I've just bought my second vintage bat, a 20's era store model Ruth bat, and am planning to put in a display cabinet. Some models tout UV protection as part of the glass or acrylic display and it has me wondering..? |

UV effects on vintage baseball bats ?

I have just started to worry about light fading my items...I never worried about equipment though and now that you say that I'm wondering about that too. I have a decal bat on the way and now I'm getting a little paranoid here. Actually I've always avoided any kind of fluorescent lighting as I've seen what it does to cards in my local card shop that have sat in lighted cabinets for a long time. |

UV light can lighten wood, cloth and paper, but it's not as a big an issue with a bat. Even if sun lightened a bat 10 percent that may not alter the financial value. To check the effects, just look at wood items around the house, like furniture or wall panels. |

I have all the original items, but they are either in the safe deposit box or stashed away from light. If I ever want to get out the originals I can...you should see my safe deposit box records....nobody that works at my bank has to ask for an ID from me...and they walk directly to my box. |
