Baseball Bat Cases

For an avid sports fan there is little that compares to having an item that is autographed by their favorite player. Baseball fans are always on the look-out for signed baseballs and bats. It’s not enough to get the ball or bat home. You also need a place where you can proudly display it. That’s why baseball cases and baseball bat cases are so important.

Many people actually collect sports memorabilia simply because they want a piece of history. For them, they generally already understand the importance of keeping their investment in a secure spot away from wandering fingers. Although most bats that are autographed have seen at least some play, they can lose value if touched by sticky or greasy fingers. Therefore keeping them in baseball bat cases keeps their value up and their condition perfect.

The most popular design is the type that can hang on the wall. The reason is simple in that a signed bat is something you want everyone to see. Many professional men and women have baseball bat cases proudly hung on a wall in their office. It’s not only a wonderful accent piece for any room, but it’s also an unusual conversation piece.

Wood seems to be the choice of most sports fan that are into this type of collecting. Many wood baseball bat cases come with a metal plate that can be inscribed. It’s a nice idea to have the name of the player, their number and the date the bat was signed engraved on the plate. This is a great hint for anyone who may not have the same love of the game as the collector.

Sliding glass doors make for easy access to the bat itself. Although if you are the owner, you probably aren’t going to want too many people handling the bat, it’s nice to have the option of removing it now and again. Although some baseball bat cases come with a lock, this is really only necessary if the bat is very valuable or if there is a risk of someone touching it.

Parents may opt for the locked choice as kids tend to find things like baseball bats particularly interesting. No parent wants to come home to find that their Little Leaguer has gotten their hands on the bat and has taken it to practice. Although you can certainly explain to a youngster that any of the bats in the baseball bat cases are off limits, keeping it locked will ensure they’ll be restricted to admiring it from afar.
