I went through buying a safe a while back. I read lots about different safes and there good and bad points. The video is a great start. The thing you need to decide is do you want one for security only or for fire protection also. Most of the safes on the market that have some fire protection are rated for 1,2,or 3 hour protection with the inside staying at 350 degrees or less. To me they are great for guns, jewelry, and coins.IMO I dont think they are good for cards though. The reason being penny sleeves and binder pages are made of polypropylene and it melts at 265 degrees, all over the cards. Slabs and card savers are made of better plastics and melt around 450 degrees. Still a little close for me. Media safes are rated at 150 degrees and are also sealed from water. So when the fireman drown your house putting out the fire, water want ruin the cards. The problem with large media safes are they get very very pricey.
