A lot of different safes out there. With a lot of different uses. You need to decide why you want to have a safe. Do you want to protect your cards and valuables from theft or from fire or both. If you want to protect them from fire I would recommend a data safe. They protect everything and dont let the temp. get above 100 deg. inside. They are however very expensive. Most regular safes only protect to 350 deg. Plastic does not catch fire at 350 but I bet it will melt. That would do some harm to cards though.
If you want one just to stop theft, I would get a safety deposit box at the bank. I for one will probably open my safe if a gun is stuck in my face.
I have a very large Phoenix safe that is a 100 deg safe and weighs 1800 lbs.
It cost a lot though!! No one will walk off with it. It took 5 of us 45 min. just to move it 50 ft. in the house with it on a dolly.
