How Shadow Boxes Can Keep Your Sports Memorabilia Safe

Collecting sports memorabilia is a fun and exciting hobby for any sports fan. It can also be a great way to make money, by buying, selling, and trading items. Items like jerseys, baseball cards, and hockey pucks are not only a way to hold on to sports history but also they can be a huge investment. Whether you are a sports collector because you love the game, or you make a living off of buying, selling, and trading, you know the importance of keeping your memorabilia protected. Not only should you protect them for their physical quality but for financial reasons.

If you are spending an extremely high amount of money on a sports memorabilia item, you may want to consider having it insured. Once you have had your item appraised for its correct amount, speak to an insurance provider to find out how you can get it insured. There may be a number of options when it comes to getting your sports item covered. Some homeowners insurance will allow you to include these items in your coverage. If you can get it completely covered this way, it might be your best option. If you have more than just 1 piece that are valuable, you may want to find some other insurance options.

Depending what type of sports items you are collecting, you will find a number of options to keep them safe. Look to covers, cases, sleeves, holders, and frames. Anything that will protect your items from mildew, dust, scratches, or UV rays is your best bet. For items like magazines, books, and photos look to sleeves and covers. If you have something that you want to display in your home, you should look for attractive options in holders, shelves, shadow boxes, and acrylic domes. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. Sometimes a zip-lock freezer bag will do the trick for storing.

For bigger items like professional sports jerseys and team flags, you should look into cases. Things like football jersey display cases give you a way to protect an expensive item while being able to display it. Display cases can be found to fit every professional type of jersey. If you are holding on to a team flag, look for flag display cases. These cases usually offer you a wonderful way to fold and show off your memorabilia item while keeping it safe from the environment.

There is an easy way to protect your important and expensive sports items. No matter what it is you love to collect, there is a case, cover, or frame that can keep it safe.
