Storing/displaying cabinets, Old Judge's etc.
Posted By: Hankron
The biggest concern is excess light. For preservation, the ultimate is to never expose them to light. However, if you really want to display them and are careful, you can. Never display them so that they get direct sunlight or are in an overly lit room (ala sunporch). Too much direct artificial light isn't good either. I have some 19th century photographs framed and hung from walls, and they are in hallways that have no windows and get minimal light except when someone turns on the light to go through the hallway. If you have a windowless den or office and, when your gone, it's black inside, you should not have problem. So, as long as you are aware that the less light the better and take the neccesary precations, you can display them. Also, you might wish to matt and frame them with UV repellant glass. |

But I hope you're not sick of me talking about the DARK. Invest in some nice stuff to hang on your wall, like a po0ster or a painting )or a woodblock print!)--but keep your cards in an album. You can always bring them out for friends. I dunno. We have lots of nice photos and paintings...the more you expose your old cards to light, the quicker they're going to fade (even if David says it's O.K.!) That goes for old photos, too-which is all Old Judges are--very old photos, mounted. |

which have an especially bad wavelength for photos and newspaper. A colleague of mine had a Ruth-Gehrig dual signed NY Times page displayed in his office and it was severely damaged by the fluorescent light. |

I store mine in whatever size top-loader is appropriate, except for the ones that are over 12" x 14". I keep the 12" x 14" ones stacked in individual plastic bags. I keep them all in dark places, except for the ones on display. |
