Man Cave Memorabilia Display Questions

[T_Hamilton]

Finally, have a man cave. Am curious about the following:

1) If I get autographed photos and have then professionally framed with UV glass does that protect them 100% if they arent hung in direct sunlight? Any thoughts/suggestions on this?
2) I have about 5 nice game used bats that are autographed. Does anyone have a favorite display for 5 bats that also includes UV protection?

Thank you kindly... will be sure to post pics once the cave is set up:-D

If there’s no direct sunlight then switch your light bulbs to LED and I think you should be pretty good.

Nothing is 100 Percent, although in that scenario you probably wouldn't notice much unless you unmatted them and compared them to similar photos that were placed in a drawer during the same period.

I agree 100%.
But also remember that the type and color of ink will also in some ways affect fading with or without UV glass. That being said red sharpie will eventually fade out, black sharpie will eventually yellow, blue sharpie is safest along with silver and gold paint type sharpies. Granted the fading out of red and yellowing of black will take some time to occur.
About your bats all I can suggest is check Amazon for bat racks if you want to display all 5 in one rack or maybe custom make one with UV protection OR display them as 5 single bats in 5 single bat cases with UV protection which are available. But the same rules will apply to the bats as to the photos.

Good Luck
