psa and sgc holders - how protective of the cards inside

[jsq]

thank you for posting the jackie robinson card and faded holder photo.

it is very impressive that the card seems to have not faded.

i wonder if the section over the card has a uv filter or some such thing?

I know BGS and BVG holders have a UV protective coating on their holders, not sure about the others. That beautiful Robinson above leads me to believe SGC does as well.

Don't display your cards in the sun above a bucket of water.

A lot of damage, in fact most, is due to handling. Holders don't allow anything near perfect protection, but do allow the owner to handle and look at the cards whenever he or she wants.
