Being that you're from LA, you know we all live in fog up here.

I do feel better though now knowing another has stored in humid conditions without issue.. but feel even better being one of the paranoid that now owns (arriving Wed) two little silica gels large enough for small closet/storage space. Thanks all for input on dehumidifiers.

Ian, I don't know if this would fit in your sdp (or take up too much room), but I've seen this particular product recommended for a safe:

Thanks for the suggestions Bill... Funny enough, I buy the kind that comes in a cardboard box (Hydrosorbent 900) and feel all proud, only to find out last night my wife has the same kind you've posted. She's been using it in one of our small rooms. Oh well, now we have 3 total. (posting from 30,000 ft when should be sleeping!!)

Alls I'm sayin..... "All safe deposit boxes in banks or financial institutions have been
sealed... and may only be opened in the presence of an agent of the

Your wife is a smart lady.

Again, yep to the desiccant packs. About a year ago I opened a small safe I hadnt opened in a couple years. Important, but not valuable papers had significant moiture damage ( wrinkled and stuck together). I was shocked. I had a few slabbed modern cards in there that appeared unaffected. So since then, lots of desiccant in larger safes!! I live in midwest, lots of humidity, and yes my house is temperature controlled too. Dont risk it. You can dry out or " recharge" these packs every so often by putting them on a baking sheet and heating in over at 220 for 30 minutes or so. Cheap and in my experience a must
