Most are T206 and Goudey commons in grades 3 through 5. I even have and older Bucher Gold Coin in SGC 50. How comfortable would you be not doing any long term damage from indirect sunlight?

You don't want any sunlight if you care about protecting the color of the cards. Long term exposure will fade the cards, sunlight is the devil. When I had my cards out I bought a special curtain that had a few layers in it and was designed to absorb all sunlight. I also replaced every light in the room with a LED including my desk lamp.
