Why is this gambler series yellowing?

[Picasso Junior]

I have the opportunity to buy this nice gambler, it’s the same one that I had as a boy, that I traded for my first original Ray Schuler. Mine was not yellow at all. what could cause this gambler to yellow in the cards. Is it a fake? Thank you for any and all advice.

Time and UV I would guess

It's plastic.

If the finish was done with lacquer It's possible that's why it's yellowing.

Yup

My 1980's Meucci has never been refinished, and its coating has become very yellow compared to its original state.

Having that refinished could be quite a transformation!
