You generally get what you pay for. For something like cards, I would invest in a safe that offers fire protection and anti-theft protection. As a rule of thumb, if it is small/light enough to be carried away then it's really kind of worthless. Also, there are different levels of fire protection. I would definitely keep the super high end stuff in a safety deposit box, especially if you are ever out of town.

I used to have two safes, both around 200#. When the 1994 Northridge earthquake hit it wrecked my condominium and I had to move out. I emptied the safes and left them in my unit with the other furniture. My place was at the very back of complex, a good half-block from the road, and up a couple of flights of stairs from the street with no elevator. Getting the safes into the place was a major PITA. While the property was condemned, some a-holes broke into all the units and they stole the empty safes. I can only imagine how nice it would have been to see their faces after going to all the work of getting them out of the place and cracking them open to find nothing inside.
The reason I don't like safes is that anyone can stick a gun in my face or that of my family and make us open it for them. I'd rather just have the irreplaceable cards at the bank and not worry about a robbery.
