Claim 10:
11. A method of storing and displaying a plurality of baseball caps, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a baseball cap storage device comprising:
a base,
a first mold engaged to and extending from an upper face of the base proximate to a first end of the base,
an end plate engaged to and extending substantially perpendicularly from the upper face proximate to a second end of the base,
a second mold slidably attached to the base, such that the second mold is selectively positionable between the first mold and the end plate,
a biaser attached to the end plate and operationally engaged to the second mold, the biaser comprising:
a pair of rods engaged to and extending between the first mold and the end plate, the rods of the pair of rods being spaced such that a plurality of baseball caps, which are folded and nested, is insertable between the rods to rest upon the base, the second mold being slidably attached to the pair of rods, and
a pair of springs, each spring being positioned around a respective rod between the end plate and the second mold, such that the spring is tensioned as the second mold is motivated toward the end plate, wherein the first mold is configured for abutting a concave face of the plurality of baseball caps and the second mold is configured for abutting a convex face of the plurality of baseball caps, such that the plurality of baseball caps is fixedly positioned between the first mold and the second mold, and

a shell having an open bottom, such that the shell is selectively positionable upon the base for covering the plurality of baseball caps, the shell being substantially transparent;

sliding the second mold toward the end plate;
inserting a plurality of baseball caps, which are folded and nested, between the rods and between the first mold and the second mold, such that the concave face of the plurality of baseball caps abuts the first mold;
releasing the second mold, such that the second mold abuts the convex face of the plurality of baseball caps; and
positioning the shell atop the base.
