    Game Used Glove Storage

    I put all my all my Game Used batting gloves and a few fielding gloves I have in big ziplock plastic bags.Would that in time do anything bad to the Leather in time because Leather is suppose to breath. Would they mold up or any kind of funky smell etc.Also with Game Used Cleats.Thanks in advance Geoff.

    Geoff, I would think it's not a good idea, unless you put a few small holes in them so they can breath/for air. If put in a warm/humid place, they would sweat and eventually mildew/stain/smell up the items. I think if you put a few holes in them, they would be ok. Any thoughts on that anyone?

    ZipLock Bags for Batting Gloves Question

    The Title says it all.I put most of my Game Used Batting Gloves in ZipLock Bags so no Air Gets in them.In Time would The Batting Gloves Dry out And would The Dirt on them just Start to Fall off.I Have Limited Space that is why I put them in The Bags.If this is not Good for The Batting Gloves I would like to Hear other ways what I could do with them so they don't get Damaged over Time.Any Help would be Great.

    Thanks
    Geoff

    Re: ZipLock Bags for Batting Gloves Question

    I keep my batting gloves in ziplocks too. The ones I don't have bagged have dried out (1980s Franklin gloves), but the ones in the bags remain in the exact condition they were in when they were used. They don't display as nice, but I like them staying as close to original condition as possible.

    Yes, I have heard that a ziplock bag keeps them from drying out

    Do batting gloves dry out?

    Is there a particular problem that collectors need to pay attention to in regard to game used batting gloves? I've acquired my first pair and noticed it was packaged in a ziplock bag. As with all leather(chairs,jackets,baseball golves)they need to be occasionally treated to prevent cracking and drying out. Of course I'm not touching them but If left displayed without protection,since they're thin to begin with,would they eventually be a problem?

    I keep all of my batting gloves on plastic bags, as you should. And yes, over time they dry out, so this is why they are in a bag
