slabs and uv protection
does someone know if the auto, card in a bgs slab or for the most part the card in general, has uv protection from the card/auto from fadding?
also if it does , does polishing with plastic polisher take the uv protection off, the slab?
thank you

RE: slabs and uv protection
ALL Beckett Slabs have UV protection built in.
"How much protection?" ----answer is "As much as we could mix into the plastic without yellowing the slab."
So, YES there is UV protection, and it's not a coating which can be damaged or rubbed off, it's part of the composition of the plastic.
