Fort Knox Safe

[e107collector]

This maybe a little off topic, but I'm curious if any member happens to own a Fort Knox Safe? I'm looking for a new safe for my cards, and after some research, these seem to be pretty good.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to another company with similar quality?

Thanks,
Tony

You won't find anything better than a Fort Knox safe.

I have a Ft. Knox safe as do many people that I know. They are the best. My advice is go with the Guardian level as it has most of the great features you will need. Get the biggest safe you can reasonably fit in your space, as you will fill it up quick with many odds and ends (guns, computers and hard drives, jewelry, photo albums, documents, and of course baseball cards, trust me they fill up quick).

After you get your Ft. Knox safe, you will scratch your head when several times a year people post about their cards getting stolen by their plumber or the neighborhood hoodlum. No reason for this if you just lock em up!

Fort Knox is great, i think Browning and maybe Liberty are as well. Get the biggest you can fit, and dont skimp on price. Get the one with the thickest gauge steel (which is a lower number) and the heaviest (harder to move) and get movers to set it up. Get the one with the thickest and most locking bolts and best fire potection. A dehumidifer rod is nice, and if they have the option, lights are nice too.

If you put one in a basebment, you have to think of the posibility of flooding. probably good to put in on blocks or something so it's off the ground a bit. You can also put a small fire/waterproof safe like the small sentry safe (only about 40 bucks) inside and put your best stuff in there (extra fire and water protection) Silica gel packets are good inside small safes and boxes for extra humidity protection.

She would have been challenged to clean that Babe Ruth signed ball had it resided inside a Ft. Knox safe, no matter how dedicated a cleaning professional she was.

After doing some research, and the comments listed above, I'm sold. I'll probably order one this month.

Thanks again,

If you have a pricey collection you may want to look at a pricey safe. Best safe I've ever used is made by John Tann out of England. They are heavy (so no one is going to leave your house with it) and tougher to crack than most bank vaults.
