Any collector who values his possessions will protect them. This is especially true for those who collect sports memorabilia. Things like baseball or football cards or cards from any sport are on of the more popular items. This is because they have been around for a very long time and anybody could get them. So for those who have a collection that has worth, baseball card cases are important.
These are better in those situations because they are able to hold large quantities of the collection without having to worry about them getting lost, damaged, or even stolen. That's right. Sometimes while people are looking at cards in a binder with plastic sleeves it is simple to pull one or two out of its place and walk away.
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.
They are still collected because you never know if one of those players might one day become a great player and his likeness will them be worth something. The other cards however, the ones that are as rare as Babe Ruth, are protected as much as possible. They are put into special baseball card cases and sleeves and all sorts of contraptions to protect their value.
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.
The commons that are saved and do become popular players and have their cards become worth something will eventually make their way to baseball card cases. These are the cards that everybody wants. Because while not everyone can be Babe Ruth, at least their card might be worth just as much one fine day.
