I hear that the absolute way to protect your cards is to shoot them into orbit.

Nelson, I have kept mine in a SDB for 7 years without any problems.

Biggest threat probably humidity. Fire or theft from a SDB would be very rare.I would throw in some sort of desiccant pack and change every year. Especially important in a home safe !!

Never a problem. Given banks are air conditioned I can't imagine humidity is a problem, but I don't live on the east coast.

Ok thx guy.
Do you take insurance + sdb or only the sdb ?

Last year in montreal a national bank was victim of thieft during a 3 day week end..the theift open arround 50 sdb of the 450

It is why i ask if you ever saw a case like that.

Thx

Nelson, My SDB also serves as my "insurance" - and I keep my fingers crossed that nothing similar to what happened at the Montreal bank happens at my bank!
