Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Ball Qube The BallQube Story They say necessity is the mother of invention, and so it goes for the original BallQube baseball display. Back in 1983, two accountant friends shared a love of sports. One of the men, an avid sports collector, needed a solution to his problem of how to display his enormous collection of autographed baseballs. A meeting of the two minds usually produced endless conversation on game statistics and obscure sports trivia. But, one evening the friends' conversation led to a wonderful idea?drawn on a cocktail napkin?and the iconic BallQube, with its clear, square, stackable two piece design sliding together on beveled edges, was born. The two CPAs decided to leave the debits and credits behind and began to pursue the production and promotion of their dream idea. Their passion and energy, along with lots of help from their wives, produced the original BallQube baseball holder which was quickly embraced by collectors and sports fans across the country. Over the years, BallQube has introduced sports ball holders for the most popular sports and many of them offer UV protection including our UV grandstand baseball display, UV grandstand football display, UV helmet display, UV mini helmet display, and UV grandstand basketball display. To add a little extra sparkle, BallQube also offers a mirrored back display and a wood base display. BallQube created a holder for a baseball bat, a baseball cap, a softball, a golf ball, a hockey puck, a hockey stick, a miniature race car, a sports jersey, and a Wheaties box. Each display offers BallQube's same smart design. BallQube remains a family business and is now under the leadership and vision of the second generation. |
