Holder for a ball

[pencil1974]

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! 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!!

Yeah I want it signed "to Mike" with mike being a common name I will find one someday. Almost had one a few months back but it was signed "to mike " and they guys last name . close here is pic

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.
