Slabs and UV Light
Posted By: Dave Hornish
OK, I'm being lazy. Are SGC and PSA slabs UV protected? Not sure I've sene an answer to this question before, although it's likely buried in the technical details on each site. Anyone know? |

I was researchig display cases a while ago and remember thinking it was extraneous that some of the graded card display cases came with UV protection since the slabs had it already. I don't have the documentation of that at my fingertips at present. |

Sadly, slabs are not UV protected.There was discussion on this a year or two back. |

SGC raised their prices by $2 a card in some categories - they can cover 0.25 for UV acrylic. |

Believe it or not, but Pro Grading states their slabs are UV protected. Their cards are trimmed/altered, but the sun won't fade them. Check their website. |

If you have a UVA/UVB (longwave/shortwave) blacklight, you can test how any material protects against UV light. Sunlight has UVA & UVB light, which is what damages cards and photos and gives you a sun tna/burn. For example, if a card fluoresces brightly under UVA light (normal blacklight), but doesn't when mylar is put in between, that means the material blocks UVA light. If the card continues to fluoresce, the material doesn't block UVA. |

I wonder if you could get some type of UV "guards" similar to the screen guards for cell phones and pocket pc's?? |

There is UVA/UVB protective film you can apply to windows. |
