Game Used Glove Storage

[Swoboda4]

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
