Gary, that CDV is breathtaking......it really stood out as a museum style archival piece in the auction!
Thanks OldJudge, now I need to decide how much light of day it will get

.
I desperately want it on display with my other cards, but equally don't want to see that wonderful image fade in a matter of years.
Can any collectors of Old Judges give me their experience of having these photo-style cards out for viewing in non-direct room lighting? Can anyone put a time line for degradation of the image or is the fadeout overstated?
