Collecting and trading sports cards has been both a hobby and fun way to invest for over 100 years. If you like the investment potential of trading cards, you probably know they must be in good condition to reach their greatest value. There are several things that you can do to protect them...- Store your baseball cards in acid- and PVC-free plastic sleeves or top loaders.
- Place sports cards in storage areas free of both direct sunlight and humidity.
- Store your sports cards in a flat manner away from heat.
- Keep food and drinks away from your sports cards.
- View your sports cards with clean hands to avoid fingerprints. Hold the sports card with your fingers on the front or back (using PVC free gloves doesn’t hurt either.)
- Get your “best” cards graded and encapsulated.
Of course these are just a few suggestions. Leave comments for how you protect your cardboard heroes...
