this is fascinating that some years fade easily and others do not.

thanks so much to the person who posted the faded fb card comparison. most educational.

has anyone figured out what the difference is from those prone to fading and the non faders?

also, since you seem pretty well versed on this, what years/makes are really robust in terms of sun and what years/makes are wussies when it comes to sun fading??

thanks,
jsq

I would think that the card you posted is also hard to fade if it sat out in direct sunlight for that long and still has that much color. The 58 Topps baseball cards fade very easily and would change that much in that many months. That is why all those fake/altered Blue Front Hank Aaron cards showed up.
