I am a noobie in here and if this is covered somewhere else, I didn't see it and apologize. I am looking for a way to protect game jerseys and it looks like some use dry cleaning bags. Where does everyone get these and is one type better to use than others? Thanks!

Re: Protecting and Preserving Jerseys
I use dry cleaning bags and I just get them off EBay. It is hard to find them in a smaller quantity but I did find one seller who sold them in a small quantity bunch.
Type doesn't really matter. They are all the same. Just the simple cheap bag will do. -

Just don't use zipper bags. You want the bottom to be open for air circulation.
Nothing will beat a case, but if you have a lot of jerseys or inexpensive ones dry cleaning bags are great.Comment

Personally I have my jerseys in shadowboxes. Every collector is different, but for me I want to display all my stuff.Comment

Re: Protecting and Preserving Jerseys
I don't think the process can really be reversed. I suppose that you could use borax, but I can't see that being a viable solution, since we're discussing game used memorabilia. Basically, the chemistry behind whiteners for laundry tend to cause yellowing over time. This can be one culprit. Others would include sunlight (UV) or oils in skin.Comment
