Holder for a ball
 
So just picked up the Ruth ball that can be seen in the March pickups and now want to know what type of holder I should get for it. Right now it came in just a cheap looking one. Any suggestions would be great.

Zip lock freezer bag it the put in safe deposit box! :D:D:D If you insist on displaying there are alot of quality UV resistant ball cubes out there to purchase. I wouldn't go with the cheaper ones. That is a really nice ball you have and sunlight is its enemy.

So how much is a not cheaper one, $20-40 bucks? I may put it in a safe but would like to have it displayed if I could for a little while. Thanks for the info it's much appreciated!

Are they UV protected? Let me know if they area and if he has any left. I need to get it in something better than the cheap plastic one its in now that is made for an $8 ball.

Brad that is a great looking ruth ball!!! But for the life of me I cant figure out why you are handling without rubber gloves? Haha Just kidding! I was the same way when my maris ball came in. Wife and kids took pictures of me opening it! Congrats! I will keep looking until I find my Ruth ball.

Yeah my wife actually did yell at me for holding it but figured I had to have my hands on it once and say I held the same baseball that Babe Ruth held. At the price I got the ball for I really couldn't turn it down. You'll find one some days, patience some times actually pays off!!

Thats a nice ball as well. Just couldn't get past the last name?

I tried to but in the end I couldn't. I wish I had been able to, Ruth Balls that nice are rare and I think it went for around 5000.

Those are nice! That at the very least starts pointing me in the right direction.
