[QUOTE="Joe, post: 336037, member: 440"] There was a pretty good thread on RS a couple of years ago which used data from the AFA pop reports to show the percentages of yellowed bubbles on various different cardbacks: http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1078575/ All of the data was in picture form of course and the bloody pics are gone so all you've got is some discussion (and a few stats that were written out). Trilogo bubbles can and do yellow contrary to popular belief: http://forum.trilogo.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=321 (If you aren't a member then below is an example!) [ATTACH=full]145392[/ATTACH] As has been said, there are many factors that contribute to yellowing. Some can be delayed by storing/displaying figures correctly (and there are many theories and personal preferences on how to actually do that) but ultimately if a particular figure/wave or bubble type is prone to yellowing due to the material it's made of, then it will probably still yellow eventually whatever you try in order to stop it. Prolonging the inevitable is very rewarding from a display point of view (clear bubbles look infinitely better than yellow ones) but if it's going to happen then it will. [/QUOTE]
