There's not much you can do to stop fading of images apart from keeping it out of the light (so if it's hanging up, take it down and store it away). The only thing I can think of is to make sure it's not behind "non glare glass" - this glass allows the light to pass through the glass, instead of bouncing off of it. Non-glare glass looks great, but wreaks havoc on images.
Hope this helps.
Oh and if anyone is interested in about 98 000 hockey cards, I can make you a great deal - they have to be moved out of our spare bedroom in the next 7 months or else our kid is not going to have a place to sleep.
