Displaying cards--fading concerns?
Posted By: bob beyerle
If they're in Direct sunlight, or in a sunny room (I'm in Southern California) they will fade. May take a few months or a year or so to notice, but there will be minor and possibly major fading. I saw a PSA graded hofer in a card shops window that was ruined by fading (although still graded a PSA 5). |

I just posted on the framing thread,check that response,and may I add that direct sunlight on any artwork,printed or original should be avoided.You can protect them with conservation grade glass,but I wouldn't risk allowing exposure to high priced pieces. |

The other solution is to live in England, like I do - direct sunlight is never a problem... |

I have many art prints hanging in my house out of direct sunlight. Any antique dealer or appraiser will tell you the sun is the worst enemy of anything printed, including baseball cards. |

Yes, this is the one set back us card collectors have. It's hard to play show and tell when people come to the house. When Jay comes over from Florida I pull out a couple of items to show him that have not made it to the box. I wish I could display cards to enjoy them more, however I will just keep to my website which is the safest and easiest way to display. |

I work in a mail-order pharmacy and in one area we have automated counting machines. Each "cell" that has drug to be automatically counted has a pair of sample pills on the outside as part of the verification. Many of the pills will become faded over a relatively short period of time, 1-2 years. It is a climate controlled room with flourescent lights doing this, so I can only imagine the impact of ultraviolet rays from the sun. |
