UV can reek havoc on collectibles. Its very subtle and takes a LOOONG time. Over the course of 10 years, north facing window behind supposed UV glass. However, once you notice holy s%*#$ does it make you wish you'd have taken better precautions.
EDIT: I should add the pictures obviously are not the same card - I just bought another one because the other had faded so much. The color difference is what I was trying to show. I have several examples of this. Unfortunately. All my cards are in drawers or boxes now as a result.
