oakman29 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Quick panorama... And two low light level phone snaps of the back of my home theater... Very clean set up. It does appeal to my OCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labratnotincluded Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I sincerely hope everyone is using some sort of uv protection for their comics! If you have ever gone into restaurants and stores etc where people apparently like bluish green art.....that is light damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's all about exposure time with that. As discussed before, if it's in a dark room that blocks most light even in the middle of the day (or a windowless room) and you are only in that room a few hours per month, it's no more light exposure in a year than wall books would get at a convention over a weekend. Cause the big difference is that bluish green art on the diner wall is exposed to direct sunlight & overhead florescent or incandescent light for multitudes of hours per day more than my books on the wall get exposed to every month.

Well, some of the rooms people are posting have windows in them. Really, it wouldn't cost that much to put a layer of picture framing uv glass over the windows and/or create a uv "box" over a light fixture if it is truly a comic room. Then one could leave the lights on and the curtains pulled back all the time Edited June 28, 2016 by labratnotincluded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Seffinga Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 That's be great if not for the fact that UV "block" in the form of filters or glass/plexi formulations don't work that way. They only slow the rate of exposure, they don't 100% block it, and in truth any light can have fading effects over time. Much also is in play when it comes to the paper, the inks, etc. It's why in critical cases (the Star Spangled Banner in the Smithsonian) they keep anything on display under ultra low light conditions, and even then it is only part time. Best bet to prevent fading is zero light exposure. The rest is just happening to varying degrees. Mostly imperceptibly slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKJ Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 My wife loves that my ADD collecting sneaks into our bedroom. There is really too much light to display much of value so I bought a comic stand to put some raws out. It was originally set up to house slabbed books but that lasted about 2 hours after looking at the incoming light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Seffinga Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Holy smokes. Love the GTs, the Claus Grabke (reissue?), and the whole room. Oh, and cool comics too. I'd have been in heaven circa '84. PKJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha yes I may have peaked in 84 and got stuck. Claus is a reissue I did have several originals but when they skyrocketed I exited and bought the re issues.

Very true, but I'm thinking nothing really noticeable in someone's collecting lifetime. Long term/conservation wise, I wholeheartedly agree. UPDATE: I did find an experiment someone did where it appears the UV glass didn't offer any kind of protection. It was from 2002 and I didn't see where they mentioned the brand. I may have to conduct my own experiment using some throwaway darker comic covers.
