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

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.

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?Comment

Re: Game Used Glove Storage
Hey Geoff. I personally do not use ziplock bags because they contain PVC which will leach out & damage the items. It is much better to use some other long termed archival bags. The PVC contained in most bags will leach out in time & cause brown spotting on many materials. You can do a Google search on "archival storage bags". I buy my archival bags at a local high end picture framing shop. Hope this helps.

Re: Game Used Glove Storage
Just curious how do you preserve your game used fielding gloves? Over years will the be fine, or is there anything that should be done to maintain them?
As of now I have been keeping mine in football mirrored back display cases.Looking for: Joey Votto game used items.

Re: Game Used Glove Storage
I leave my batting gloves and fielding glove just out in the open. So far, have not had any problems.Comment

DO batting gloves dry out?
Just acquired a pair of batting gloves and they were packed in ziplock bags. Seeing how thin they are I would imagine if displayed in the open they would eventually dry out. What is the accepted way to maintain/display game used batting gloves?-ThanksComment
