Does light hurt Pokemon cards?
Oh yeah, sun is no friend to Pokemon cards. Faded Pikachu isn't as cool as shiny Pikachu.

Absolutely, light, especially direct sunlight, can be a real villain to Pokemon cards. It can cause the colors to fade and even damage the material over time. Always best to store your precious cards in a cool, dark place or in protective sleeves that block out harmful UV rays.
Gotta disagree with the panic, folks. I've had my cards near a window for years & they're fine. Just don't leave them baking in direct sunlight for like, eternity, and they'll likely hold up okay.
