Posted By: <b>David Williams</b><p>LOL.<br /><br />Yeah, I've got most of my cards and stuff either displayed in my office at work (the easy to replace stuff and less valuable stuff), or in an old library card file cabinet at home.<br /><br />I guess if I had a lot of cards worth hundreds or thousands each, I'd stick them in a bank vault, or hide them real well in my house.<br /><br />Which brings up another question, how do most of you display your cards/memorabilia/etc...?<br /><br />Or is it all locked up?

Posted By: <b>barry arnold</b><p>when Hurricane Ivan was on the way here, i was mighty grateful that i had<br />bought a safe and had it attached permanently to the floor in the storage room.<br />still, i packed my vintage cards up and took them in the car with me, along with medicines and money, and my wife. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><br />best<br /><br />barry arnold<br />

Posted By: <b>Charles E. Moore</b><p>The average fire proof box for home use probably will not protect from smoke damage. Most important papers are adequately protected, but "smoked" vintage cards are at best "authentic"!
