Advice on storing a football

DrRickDagless_MD

Hello all, does anyone have any advice on best way to store an autographed football? Its currently in a display case and not exposed to sunlight. Do silica drying packs help or matter? Thanks for any input.

Maybe let some air out so it's not being stretched out.

Thanks for the input. Would a silica gel pack help, hurt or have any effect if placed in the case with the football?

Moisture should be good for leather as long as an it's not excessive.

It depends on what environment you are storing it in. Silica gel would be good if you're storing it in a damp basement, otherwise it would not be necessary.
