Obviously everyone who’s anyone is getting into the vault game these days.

And I suppose there’s some subset of the population that will find it useful…

But I just don’t trust anyone to hold onto my cards for me!

If I hold them in the vault for the next 30 years, what’s to keep them from wandering off, getting filched, or mysteriously disappearing? Can I swing by the vault every few weeks to check in on them? If others are swinging by the vault, are they fingering my items as they pass by?

And for that matter, what happens if these vault companies go under? Based on all of the crypto “banks” that have gone under and taken people’s crypto with them, it seems like the same problem could easily exist here.

Even if there are published policies and safeguards and insurance and whatnot, why risk it if it’s never really been tested to really know for sure?

And that’s overlooking the most obvious drawback - staring at pictures on a screen and knowing that my collection is (hopefully) sitting in a vault somewhere is not the same thing as actually enjoying them!!!
