The people who collect baseball cards will always tell you that the value is in the condition of the cards themselves. Well, that and the age and rarity of the piece. That is why they will always protect their investments in baseball card cases made of a hard resin or plastic. They cannot afford to let anything ruin their collections.
Collectors have a variety of reasons for keeping their cards as safe and as untouched as possible. Anytime they lose a little bit of their value it is always due to the condition degrading in some way. Whether it is because of the weather, like moisture or humidity. Or if it is due to simple negligence, like storing them in a basement that is prone to flooding.
No matter what decision is made on where and how to store them it can effect the value of the collection. Some of the collections that people have are just wonderful. If you are into sports collectibles or you are just a huge baseball fan, getting the chance to look through a full set or something that someone has put together over decades is just a treat.
After a while though, and after they have had their time with some other activities, they always seem to come back to the collections. It seems to be the one thing that they can somehow relate to. In addition it has always brought them joy as a child so for some of these people, getting back into it is nothing more than trying to recapture that old joy.
This is when they put the things away in cases and in boxes. In order to keep these things safe from damage or from the environment. So many collectors have lost a ton of things worth who knows how much in simple basement flood. All because they neglected to think that something bad could happen to them and their collections.
For still others this hobby might be nothing more than a way to earn money. Some people see that there is a fortune to be made in some of these cards and if they could only collect the right ones in the right condition they might get rich without having to really work a day in their lives. Because collection is hard but it is way different than working a factory job.
When they are really invested in their collections they will not let anything get in their way and they will not let anything ruin what they have. This is the main reason for the protection. Some people lock up their most valuable collectibles in glass cases with combination locks. Some put them right into their family safe or security box.
It does not matter what the reasons are, all that matters is that you keep your collection safe and in good condition. This is why baseball card cases were invented in the first place. A spot to not only protect them but to also still allow viewing of the most important and then the most valuable of cards in the persons collection.
