Thanks guys,

I think I've had these displayed like this for about 3-4 years. The room gets morning sun and dust from windy Porter Ranch, CA. I use a damp cloth with Windex a few times a year (pathetic I know) and dust them. They don't seem to have faded at all. Many photo's in the same room will fade, however.

Chuck, are you using any kind of UV glass on those photos?

They have to be getting rarer intact, as card companies love to use these to make cut auto cards, a la this example

Between active and ended eBay auctions, there appear to be five different cards like this.

What was the stated number of these made?

Only a handful of my nicer photo's were framed with UV glass. The others in std frames. I did what Zipper suggested long ago and that's photo copy the pic, put it in a frame, then store the original. Before I did this, some faded and I just get rid of them. Now, I actually like the way the 8 1/2 X 11 photo's look better than the originals!!!!!

The one's with the UV Glass still look good despite taking a pretty decent daily baking in the California Sun!

I received my Salvino and had no trouble at all removing the cut. I am going to frame the cut with the rest of the 55' Dodgers...As for the Salvino itself, I am going to get a silver plate engraved to attach to bare spot...

Thoughts?
