Autographed baseball collectors: what do you use to store your baseballs?

I've never been a very big autographed ball collector, but have picked up a few nice pieces recently, and want to find out from the "pros" what the best holder would be for them. Links and / or images would be most helpful. I already keep the signed balls out of sunlight and in a cool place, but wouldn't say no to U/V blocking holders either.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I store them in UV resistent Ball Cubes (with built in stands) which are like $3 each

    If you're looking to display them, the UV resistant cubes are teh best. If you're just storing them, make sure you wrap them in acid free tissue if you place them back in their box for long term storage.

    I keep all of my auto baseballs in a Pelican Case (See pictures on BST Board under Graded Card Cases). I put all of my auto baseball in a UV resistant ball cube and then put that cube into the case with foam I have pulled out of the case to fit that ball cube. I will say, I am extremely anal about the storage and protection of my graded cards, auto balls and auto bats. I have three auto bats, that actually are in a Pelican gun case. They fit like a glove inside the foam! Hope that helps.

    Something along the lines of this:

    Ultra Pro UV cases with internal stand

    I don't really plan on displaying them, but I'd rather have UV blocking cases just in case. My biggest concern is the sides of the holder (or stand) causing damage to the sides of the ball that rest against it.
