There are many ways to keep a collection safe and in a good condition. With baseball cards people usually keep them in plastic sleeves held in big binders. This makes it easy to go through the collection from time to time. Others however who just want to store them or who move around a lot will usually opt for baseball card cases.
Collectors start off at a very young age. These are very accessible which is why they are so popular. A kid can save a couple dollars and go to any store and buy a pack or two of cards. They do not need someone to escort them into a stadium for an autograph or pay hundreds of dollars for a football. The cards anybody can get almost any time.
Not only have people been collecting them for a very long time, but they collect tons of them. You cannot just put them all in a big box and hope they will stay in a condition that you can sell. They must be cared for and protected somehow. If you do not put any effort into their protection, you will not have anything of any value.
Regardless of the theft factor people usually go for these types of boxes because they are easier to keep them in a pristine condition this way. With these types of collectibles their value is determined bothy by the person depicted and the condition. If the merchandise is damaged or in some other way tarnished the value is somewhat lost.
The great thing about this is that just as anybody can collect these, anybody is capable of protecting them the right way too. It is not hard for kids to get the baseball card cases with which to place their cards. These are or at least will be prized possession so they certainly need to be protected.
The best way to protect that value is to keep the condition as close to new as possible. Of course this is not always possible but there is no reason not to try. That is what the collection is all about, keeping the cards looking brand new. If a card is damaged it still will retain a value, just not the highest.
The fact that they are sort of a general shape or just square makes them ideal for a variety of products. In addition, there are also a lot of other materials and products that are shaped just like sports cards and therefore fit nicely inside these boxes. You will often find many different things and different people using these.
There is no better way to know than to see how the ones you can see were cared for. Baseball card cases are great for this purpose. They are made so that a certain amount of cards fit within the case and some are even set up to allow you to display them or just a portion of the cards. They are really great for these purposes.
