Displaying vintage cards (T206 & Old Judge) and lighting? OK or not?

[oldcardboard]

I use several stands when I am building a player specific display. The stand in your link above will not work for graded cards, they will "tip over". They make a 2 piece stand that is best for graded examples. I buy all my supplies from mattsbaseball.com [800-675-1898], Just ask Matt for the 2 piece acrylic stands.

I have both 1 piece and the 2 piece stands pictured here. I will only use the 2 piece stands for graded going foward.

I wouldn't display the OJ. It shouldn't be exposed to natural light or it will cause fading. That's why there's so many faded OJ's.

Fluorescent light is by far the worst artificial light.
Be aware that those newfangled "energy-saver" spiral bulbs are fluorescent...

That truly sucks!!! I guess those will go into the bank vault permanently.

Don't display OJs. Take 'em out when you want to look at them, then put them away.

Is this the stand you are referencing?

Andy, yes sir, those are the ones. They allow graded examples to sit without tipping over. Also, you can put 2 or 3 together and display exhibits and larger slabs.
