4 Ways To Keep Sports Collectibles Safe While Moving

May 9, 2019 by Annie

Do you love sports? If so, moving collectibles can be tough and nerve-wracking. You wouldn’t want any damage to befall the precious items, as this would lower their value tremendously. Aside from the monetary value of collectible sports memorabilia, the sentimental value should also be preserved. If you are worried about the condition of your collectibles, here are some tips to keep them safe and intact while relocating.

Use white paper when wrapping circular items

Items like autographed baseballs, footballs hockey pucks, and other circular things should be wrapped in several layers of white tissue paper. It is important to use white paper so that no dye is transferred onto the item from colored paper. Tape the tissue into place carefully, avoiding getting any on the item itself. If tape gets on the collectible, it could leave sticky residue behind or damage the outside of the item.

Use bubble wrap

When you are relocating fragile or valuable items, bubble wrap is your best friend. Bubble wrap keeps items safe from impact during the time they are being transferred. Once it is wrapped, tape the bubble wrap in place so that your item is never left without protection. The item should then be carefully placed in the box it is to be held in. If there is extra room, use packing peanuts or some other type of material to fill in the empty space so there is less movement during transport.

Use a card binder or plastic sleeve for cards

Many people store their collectible cards in boxes, organized in various ways. However, this is not the way they should be moved to a new location. Leaving the cards in boxes makes them susceptible to movement, causing dings and bent corners. You do not want anything to lower the value of cards, so it is a good idea to place them in a card binder or plastic sleeve. Card binders are meant to store cards safely, even though it can be time-consuming. If you don’t want to spend time organizing your cards, consider storing them in a public storage Indianapolis facility where they will be safe until you retrieve them

Keep jerseys hanging or flat during the move

Jerseys should always be on a hanger to preserve their beauty and value. It also keeps them from getting wrinkled. Use hangers that are not metal, as these can rust and leave marks on the jersey. Place it in a garment bag or make a hole in the bottom of a garbage bag to store the jersey. Try to keep the jersey hanging during the move, but this is sometimes not possible. If you cannot keep it hanging, lay it flat in an area that is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Preserve your valuables with these tips on moving collectibles. White paper keeps dye from spreading onto items, bubble wrap keeps them safe from impact, card binders prevent dings and bends, and jerseys should be either hung up or lying flat during relocation.
