Is direct sunlight required to fade a picture?

A few years ago I had some baseball cards on a shelf next to a window on a south wall. They never got directly hit by the sun but faded some after a few years.

I now have a desk right in front of a window on a north wall. There is no way it can get any direct sunlight but I'm worried that some cards I have on it will fade eventually. Should I be?
