I chose a different approach to display my collection. With over a decade to go in the last millennium, I purchased a somewhat large, very heavy and sturdy 5-drawer blueprint case from SAFCO Engineer Supply Company. Expensive, and its space could not be totally useful, but I was adamant even in 1989 about preventing UV light from damaging, and destroying, my collection.
Several years ago, I began converting it to a card collection display. I drilled out the heavy metal flaps used to keep blueprints flat. Then, I got some superior, thick Crescent matte art cardboard and carefully cut them to fit the viewing area of each of the 5 shelves. I bought good cotton batting to glue down on the cardboard. I made each triple thick. Then, I over-layed each mat with midnight blue velvet, or purple crushed velvet. Each pad had an additional pad in the back to prevent graded card holders from sliding back too far; in retrospect this was unnecessary but my German overengineering trait in me willed out.
I could not be happier with the result. ANY TIME I wish to see my collection, I just pull out a given drawer. For most of the 1,440 minutes in a day, ultra violet light will never touch it. Even then, the hobby room has a covering blocking the small window that allows daylight in, as I prefer to use the room's fluorescent light.
Furthermore, I personally do not want to see my collection every time I enter the hobby room, as familiarity breeds contempt, but displaying them in the open breeds irreversible UV ray damage. When I want to treat myself, I admire them. I do not have the same feeling for my model car collection. The sun's rays won't hit them either because of my blocking the window.
I guess each of us collectors has his own whims, fears, and preferences. Guys, your displays are all sensational.
I've shown a pair of photos of my collection in the case on here a couple of times; I won't dig them up unless someone wants to see it.
Cheers.
