    Showcasing your collection

    I was just wondering if we could share some insight on how to properly showcase your collection. More specifically I was concerned with the effects that natural, and unnatural light would have on the colouring of my cards.

    I am an avid Penguins fan and want to showcase some of my auto cards with the rest of my Pens autos at my bar. Barring security of the actual card (taken care of), are there options for me to explore which will allow me to showcase some of these autographs without having to endure fading?

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Brad

    As long as they're away from the window and not getting hit with direct sunlight, or have a 120W bulb pointing at them for hours at a time, you should be all right. I've got a lot of nice auto'd material on my wall and in my display case and they've been fine.

    Well, I used to put my cards in deep frames which had UV resistant glass but yes away from the windows is the key

    If you have some backing on those displays that is posterboard like stuff, make sure you get Archival grade or acid free. The regular kind breaks down and yellows.
