Sunlight on cards = bad. All raw cards should be buried in moist soil in the backyard for long term storage. If no backyard, a planter box will do in a pinch.

Thanks for replies, a lot of funny stuff there. My friend still swears that it helped a couple of cards that had gotten really dark with age--"loss of color" actually a good thing, in moderation, in those cases. I have not seen the cards so cannot comment.

Please stop this madness!

This could be the first Urban myth of Net54. "I set my cards in direct sunlight for a couple hours a day and the image ENHANCED." You're not processing film.

I can't think of more than a couple sets that would get dark with age. And sunlight wouldn't make any of those better since they're all developing photo type stuff.

I do know that my eyes have become less effective in the dark with age, and that sunlight does help that
