There is no doubt about it, all sorts of different people need all sorts of different plastic cases. The plastics industry has grown immensely since people started melting little beads of plastic and molding them into various shapes. One such group of users for this material is collectors. They use all sorts of various baseball card cases.
These cases generally come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They even come in various colors and levels of transparency. Those who collect sports cards are among a group of collectors who must keep their items in pristine condition. The condition of their cards is everything. Next to, that is, the person on the card itself.
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.
A lot of times people take them to malls or other places to sell them to the public. Now what better way is there to display, protect and sell the cards than that. It is all about the item being collected. The people who are browsing the collection that you have for sale will notice the prime importance that was placed on keeping the card in the best possible condition.
There are all sorts of cards that have values ranging from only a couple of dollars to thousands. It is all a matter of their rarity. If there are a thousand Babe Ruth cards out there they will not be as highly sought after. This is why a rookie is sometimes more valuable than a normal one. People tend to not save rookie cards because at one time they are a common, like the ones spoken of earlier.
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.
