Also, don't display your cards near a window, in direct sunlight, or under a constant fluorescent light.

I design books for a living and there are many books on display at my work that are under constant fluorescent office lights. The covers of those books are completely washed out and faded. I'd think the same fate would happen to cards under the same lighting conditions. 

Ive run across some of these lucite holders that must weigh a good 5 lbs,what the heck.Great point about being near windows and light in general.How bout this,I grew up in a family of chain smokers and i have cards that were in albums in 9 sleve pages and the nicotine turn some of these cards yellow and sticky not an ideal situation i must say.I think a little common sense will go along way if a person takea pride in his or hers collection...Gone

Im gonna call this either "Tragedy" or "Attempted Murder of Manny Ramirez"!Elaborabing on the storage topic ive been desleeving the OldMans cards and for what ever reason this 2001 Stadium Club Diamond Pearls 13 was stuck or wedged in a hard plastic sleeve holder.Against better judgement i attempted to free Manny with pics of the tragic result posted.I tend not to get emotional when losing $1 inserts.I like this card,alot lol , this coming from a life long Oakland Athletics Insider but there are players on the opposing teams that i admired,admire and Manny Ramirez was one of these players.Sure the card can be replaced but im not feeling it...So time for me to move on my job in this forum is Complete.....Peace Out All
