UV effects on vintage baseball bats ?

Posted By: E, Daniel

I've just bought my second vintage bat, a 20's era store model Ruth bat, and am planning to put in a display cabinet. Some models tout UV protection as part of the glass or acrylic display and it has me wondering..?
I know the effects of UV on paper and the need to reduce as much as possible exposure to light - however, I'm not really sure of how a bat reacts to similar UV rays.
Will the general tone of the bat fade? Or the lettering lighten?
Are there display cabinets you recommend highly?

Thanks to any who can set me straight.

Daniel
