The baseball cube is the mainstream
collector's choice for archival storage of Major League Baseballs. This
baseball case features a built in stand to keep the ball straight so the
autograph stays aligned front and center. It has two equal u-shaped plastic
pieces that slide together to form a precision fit. With a suggested retail
price of just $2.00, this baseball case is an inexpensive way to preserve
all your autographed major leagues baseballs. For total protection from
damaging UV Rays please check out our new
UV Protected Ball Cube, which has a UV
additive in it to block out the harmful ultra violet rays that accelerate
discoloration of a baseball after a many years of exposure to light.
Strengths: Inexpensive
Weaknesses: This holder
lacks protection from damaging UV Rays from light, which accelerate
discoloration of a baseball, and fades a signature after a many years of
exposure to light. The more expensive UV
Protected Ball Cube solves this problem in that it has a special UV
protectant additive to block out damaging UV Rays.
1. How do you know which of Pro-Mold's
baseball cubes are UV protected and which ones are not? Both products look
identical. Answer: The UV protected baseball cube has "UV" stamped on
the bottom of it.
2. Will the stand leave an indentation
on the baseball after it's in the holder for many years? Answer: Some
collectors do in fact fear that a mark from the stand will be left on the
ball over a long period of time which is why they use the Pro-Mold
Ball Cube without Stand.
3. What kind of raw material is this
holder made out of? Answer: This holder, as well as all our other
baseball cases
except our UV Protected Baseball Case, is
made out of polystyrene. Polystyrene is an archival safe raw material and it
contains no hazardous chemicals, PVC or plasticizers.
4. Why should I store all my baseballs
in the Pro-Mold Ball Cube instead of another brand? Answer: The
Pro-Mold Ball Cube is made in the USA with high quality raw materials from
leading American polymer (plastic) manufactures including Dow Chemical and
BASF. Many of the imported baseball cubes are made from a low grade material
using a lot of regrind which give their parts a blue tint and less optical
clarity.
