If you've been paying attention to unusual news stories recently, you're sure to have noticed that one about the 72 year old lady who found one of the world's oldest baseball cards and now stands to make a fortune from it.
The very popular hobby of collecting baseball cards unfortunately seems to lost a little of its appeal, especially with the recession forcing people to cut spending on luxury items. But it's a testament to how big a part of people's lives collecting baseball cards has been for years, that in spite of a troubled economy, collecting still goes on.
Baseball cards have been around since the 1800's and there are so many of so many different varieties that a beginner could be quite bewildered. To prospective collectors of baseball cards, however, this diversity can give them freedom to choose between types of cards,

Once your decision has been made to collect baseball cards, it's upto you to select a way of displaying them. You could of course just take all the cards and dump them in a box, but {that wouldn't let you enjoy them properly or - what maybe more important - you wouldn't be able to look through them easily and run the risk of damaging the cards.
But before the arranging comes the purchase. If you weren't fortunate enough to have valuable baseball cards show up when you don't expect them like that lady, you may have to actually go out and buy some yourself. So where do you go to start your collection of baseball cards? Before you begin, it's a good idea to make your search easier by deciding what kind of cards you want. If you're looking for new cards, the best place to start would be your local shop. Card collecting enthusiasts usually frequent conventions and card shows,

Before you go out on your hunt, select which baseball cards you want - make a "˜shopping list'. You should also know of what your cards are worth, so invest in a price guide to help you along.
Once you have a collection that's big enough, you'll need to think about how you're going to store and protect it. There are several ways of keeping your baseball cards safe like putting them in plastic sleeves or top-loaders,

Do remember that the joy of collecting cards is rarely in the money you hope to get from it.
