Driving a very long distance with vintage cards in hot weather
Has anyone ever driven with vintage sportscards in the car for a long trip (i.e. across the country) during summer heat and humidity? If so, how did it go with them stored either inside the car and/or the trunk?
Naturally heat and humidity is awful for them for general storage, but I wondered what the chances were of anything happening in less than a week like that. I doubt it, but I'd be taking some valuable stuff that I don't want to take any chance of ruining that way |

I drove both ways when I moved from NYC to SF and back. My cards were in my safe inside the back of the U-Haul. I moved in June both times. No issues at all.

Thanks Packs and Joe.
That's what I figured; knew that any concern was likely a huge stretch. But would rather sound a little silly and get that confirmation (than chance any disasters from unexpected consequences) |

I wouldn't worry about the heat and humidity as much as I would about theft. It sounds like this trip will take a few nights; is it feasible to bring the cards into the hotel with you?

I agree. I would worry a lot more about theft. Maybe store them in something nobody would want like an old Twinkies box. On second thought, that might be the first thing stolen in some parts of the country.

It might depend on your definition of "valuable" vintage sportscards for the trip ? Would that be cards worth $5000 ? $50,000 ? $500,000 ? $5 million ?
