I was wondering if the new slabs protected comics from UV light. I know Ultra Pro's acrylic display cases do, but Ultra Pro is not a grading service. So what about the new slabs from CBCS? As far as I can tell, the old slabs did not protect from UV light at all. | ||

Thank you sir. May I have another? | Siggy private msg quote post Address this user | |
I don't believe so, other than simply being a barrier between the book and light. I'm pretty sure it still allows UV light through. | ||

no it doesn't. However I do think it has a vent for off gassing. | ||

E Gerber Mylites are made out of their impregnated “Mylar D” which is 99% UV protective. They make bags large enough for slabs. I’m not sure if the slabs offer any UV protection. |

More UV adds more of the blue tinge....could make the slabs opaque to really protect the books? | ||

Just FYI, even 1% UV is terrible for anything with pigments and dyes. If you're in a room with windows to outdoors, I wouldn't recommend putting up books. Kills me to not display stuff. |

I am almost wondering if I should make or buy a dark tarp for my spinner rack. It is in my dark basement with only light through 1 block basement window on the other side of the basement. I would have to remove the tarp each time to enjoy it though. I currently am down there 2 to 4 times a week doing some bagging,boarding,cpr,sorting etc... Or maybe I should invest in Mylar bags for slabs. |
