I like having my cards graded and stored off-site for a number of reasons, none of which do anything but maintain or improve their value and presentation aesthetic.

I also like having my best cards in a safety deposit box so I don't have to fret about them being stolen, damages, burned, lost, etc. during my move or thereafter.

I also don't want the cold metal and humidity of a bank to cause condensation inside the slabs.

Cost of grading: $5-$8
Cost of silica gels: $9.95
Cost of safety deposit box: $7/month

Cards preserved for my children when they get old enough to appreciate them?
