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.
The cards that are not that rare are pretty common as a matter of fact. That is also what they are called within the community, "commons". These cards are worth next to nothing and as such are not put into special containers or sleeves made to protect their value. Since there is no value, there is no need to try and protect them, yet they are still collected just the same.
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.
They will know that you tried to the best of your ability to keep them safe, clean, free from scratches or grime of any kind. This is especially important if buying a complete set or a big amount of cards. IN big collections you might not be able to see every single card, so you need to know they are in good condition.
Baseball card cases are made specifically for the collector but it is easy to see after looking at one how they could be used for a large variety of things. Regardless, those who do collect these cards will always use these because of how well they protect their number one commodity. Collectors are a finicky bunch and they will always protect their cards.
