OT- Near disaster with "desiccants"

[SAllen2556]

If you'll pardon an amateur's question: You guys who have safety-deposit boxes for your most valuable cards, does it ever bum you out that you have to keep the stuff you'd most like to have around the house to show off stored away in a bank?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have the same problem, but after seeing that picture with Mantle and company tucked away in a metal box, I couldn't help but wonder.

Yes, 100%!! I keep a handful of cards at home. Mantle was actually deposited that day. I picked it up late last year and had kept it nearby ever since.. I finally parted with it yesterday. Usually when I deposit a card or two, I'll trade it with a lesser value (but favorite) to bring back home. Gotta keep at least a few favorites nearby.
