I've wondered, but never found any information on the subject, if the standard PSA holder (or any other grading company for that matter), protects cards from UV. I'm guessing not based on the comment above.

Maybe his display case glass has a protective coating.

Not a bad looking 1

Have often wondered if florescent light would damage cards.

I've seen it happen, it's brutal.

If you ever go to the Disney All Sports Resort, you will see lots of autographed items that have been ruined by the bright Florida sun...Jordans and such. Not at all irreplacable, but a shame nonetheless.

I have seen some "bad things" happen to cards with prolonged exposure.

article mentions that he has a "security system".

an impressive collection, not just for completeness, but also for quality -- average rank is nearly a 6, and scrolling through it seems that many of the HOFers are the 6s, and commoners include several 4s -- so it's not like he skimped on the expensive cards.

If the slabs are behind uv glass and the lumens are low, then the cards have a chance. I've seen plastic sleeves, like slit tubes, that can be put over fluorescent bulbs, to filter the uv. He needs something... I always worried about a client thinking they were paying too much for an attorney if he had a bunch of great baseball stuff displayed... Hope he get's a Doyle. And that's a fine accumulation of cards. He stayed with his passion and slayed the monster.

That's the "Connecticut" Wagner from REA's 2010 auction.

It is my collection and I have learned a lot from many of you. Bill Latzko really helped me with the collection as a friend, mentor and seller of many of the cards. Thanks to your posts, I am immediately having the glass case coated in UV protection. I have not noticed any fading in the cards. I also removed the most valuable cards when the article was posted and placed them in a safe deposit box. I am replacing those with reprints and will only bring them back for short term special occasions.

Thank you very much everyone. I also thought you might be interested that I took some raw cards and had them made into lucite coasters with my firm name and logo inside the lucite coaster. I thought they came out really nice with no bleeding. Unfortunately, most people don't have a clue what they are.

Even if you hadn't seen this thread no doubt some one here would have gotten in contact with you about protecting them from the fluorescent lighting. Great collection!
