Step 1
Store your baseball cards in acid- and PVC-free plastic sleeves or hard plastic sleeves. If you use PVC plastic supplies, ensure that they contain no plasticizers or stearates.
-
Step 2
Place baseball cards in storage areas free of direct sunlight. Sunlight causes fading and the heat causes the cards to deteriorate, weakening colors on the card and prized signatures.
-
Step 3
Prevent curled or curved baseball cards by storing baseball card binders in a flat manner away from heat.
-
Step 4
Keep food and beverage away from your baseball cards. If you're saving bubble gum packs, take out the piece of gum if it doesn't affect the value of the collection.
-
Step 5
Be aware of humidity levels in the storage area to prevent mold. Cards may stick and later rip during attempts to separate them if they develop mold.
-
Step 6
View your baseball cards with clean hands to avoid fingerprints. Also hold the baseball card with your fingers on the front or back to avoid dinging up the edges.
