While most of my decks live in the darkness of boxes, I do have some that live on shelves, mostly in carat cases. The shelves don't get a lot of direct sun, but there's a bit in the mornings, and I'm starting to think about UV damage over time. Has anyone done anything to protect their displayed decks from UV exposure? I'm kicking around building something out of plexiglass with a UV protective film on it to place in front of the shelves, but I'd like it to be aesthetically pleasing, so I need to put some thought into it.
Maybe Carat Cases can start doing UV-protective cases?

I've wondered about this myself, but never bothered to do any research. Will be interesting to see if anyone else has

A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!

Re: Thoughts on UV protection for display?
I am now interested in the idea of a wine cellar for cards. Wonder what the HOA stance is on that...

I think you may be thinking too small with the card cellar. Go for a Card Tower, complete with Card Angel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laSHHjxrSLk
