I'd just put them in top loaders and keep them in box, as even the best displays that are designed to keep UV rays at bay, still can't completely stop the signatures from slowly fading from any ambient light that hits them.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527071162164319087.post-20376877871159061992017-11-01T15:55:38.293-04:002017-11-01T15:55:38.293-04:00Awesome, what an idea.
