I bought a fire proof wall safe ($150.00) and am installing in my bedroom...

You hang a picture over it...

Pretty cool... Not displayed, but it keeps them at home with me and not at the bank in safe deposit!

Awesome CJ display!

Agreed. I don't get the point of buying beautiful vintage cards and then just throwing them in a safe or box and look at them once in a blue moon.

The only complete sets I currently have are modern ones and they are in binders. I do have some cards that are slabbed or in one-touch, and they are cool but I prefer cards that I can put into pages.

• UV Damage
• Fire
• Theft

I can think of a lot of reasons I would rather store my cards in my safe. To each their own though, it's all just a matter of personal preference.

I store everything in sheets in binders. When I was a set collector, my sets were sorted by TEAM within these binders, not numerical order.

I like to tape my T206 Wagner on the bathroom window so the world can see it.
This way I know it gets plenty of sunlight to keep the colors bright, it gets plenty of moisture to keep the cards supple and the tape is just a way of securing it since I hardly doubt a burglar is going to rob anything from the bathroom.
I make sure also, that I tape all of my most valuable cards to my windows so the world can see them. I have my 52 near mint Mantle and my Cracker Jack Joe Jackson taped on my bedroom window and the living room window in that order.

I put mine up on the walls with push pins. Color code the pin color to the card.
Oversized cards, such as 52 Topps, I use small nails or even a staple gun.

I agree with that in principle, but as I had a break in shortly after I got back into the hobby I keep most of my higher value cards in the bank. I'd love to look at them every day but that doesn't outweigh the risk of losing them. Plus it makes those occasional trips to the bank more fun.
