-Keep away from direct sunlight.
-Keep in as dark an area as possible. -It's best if the room has no windows. -Temperature is not really an issue, but humidity can be.

If you're going to have it on display get a good ball holder. The Steiner cases look the best and will keep it safe.

Amongst other things like limiting light, get a holder or display case that blocks out most UV light. Many of today's plastic normal ball cubes block out most UV and this the manufacturer's advertisers advertise this quality. Also, incandescent light bulbs give off less UV than fluorescent, meaning incandecent are less damaging.

It's too bad you can't just ask the previous owner where he or she kept the ball. Whatever he or she did, it sure worked.
p.s. Kudos for working the "amongst" in there. Last edited by Mark; 05-12-2009 at 12:38 PM.

Whilst temperature variations may have little to no impact, humidity and UV levels are amongst the most damaging environmental factors. Limit the UV exposure to as close to zero as possible. Relative humidity should be kept at roughly 50%. We have been handling early and valuable baseballs for nearly a quarter century and we only handle our baseballs with white cotton gloves.
