I've never had a problem with fading because I've always kept my collections boxed, but I certainly wouldn't want to take a chance with such high-end cards. I guess you could say that I'm somewhat paranoid, but I'd definitely rather be safe than sorry, you know? LoL. I can definitely understand your interest in displaying such a great PC though. One option would be to install a high-grade, UV-protected plexiglass sheet underneath the existing piece in your coffee table, and then transfer all of your highest-end cards into that. I'm assuming that you'd like to keep your nicest pieces on display as they are, but I would imagine that doubling up on the UV protection would help plenty.
I've just started to chase some of the players from the "11-13" rookie class and it appears that we share some of the same interests. Although, I have been investing in Kemba Walker lately. I was able to acquire his Select Gold Prizm Auto /10 the other day and I'm pretty happy with it. I'd LOVE to add about 98% of your pictured cards to my new PC though. LoL. "The high end shelf" is AMAZING. Very, VERY nice work so far. If you happen to have any duplicate auto's and/or super-short-printed parallels of Beal, Thompson or Faried for sale, I would most likely be happy to take them off of your hands. I'm also trying to seek out more low-numbered Kemba Walker cards.
