Took some of my stuff to a safe deposit box. Snapped a pic before I left

Ha I can’t part with it. I actually just added his companion a couple of weeks ago... ‘32 u.s. caramel ruth psa 7. Haven’t mustered the courage to tell the wife her “new car money” somehow disappeared!

I love seeing groups like that great stuff guys. As for the "box" I got one a few years back and have about 20-30 cards stored. Had to do it when I felt I had enough $ tied up in those few that it would really hurt if they were to burn or walk. I have scans of them all and it's only about 2 miles from my house so I can see them whenever the urge gets strong.

Nice cards guys. That's about how my collecting looks like.

I actually bought a five-foot tall fireproof safe that I store them in, along with some weaponry. Supposedly it’s fireproof anyway. I’d hate to ever see it put to the test. I figure it’s better than storing them in a brown paper bag under the bed!

Jason that’s an incredible collection!

I think I might go the fireproof gun safe route as well but I have logistics to figure out. I’m hoping the safe deposit box isn’t a long term thing.

a tad off-topic but I need to follow up on Insurance.
I know folks say cards are insured to & from shipping and etc.
I just like to have the extra assurance they are protected and what steps that are needed to follow and whats the best?

I have four safety deposit boxes filled with my best cards, which I've all scanned, so I can look at them whenever I like. It's inconvenient and pricey, but I sleep better. I also noticed the 1952 Topps card of Tony Bartirome, who looks out of place next to all those aces and heavy hitters. But I recall that one of his relatives is hording his cards, so it's probably a great investment.

Thanks Scott. I’m pretty envious of that ‘52 Mantle of yours. I couldn’t make out the grade, but looks to be in the 4-6 range?

Insurance is definitely something I need to consider at some point. Kind of like an art collector. I keep saying I’m gonna look into it, but haven’t yet. Anyone know how to go about getting a card collection insured? What about cost?

First of all, those pictures of your guys' collections just warms my heart. Awesome pictures!

Secondly, I'd recommend one of these 2 companies for insurance. I use ACNA, but they're basic coverage plan does not cover insurance if I sell a card and send it to someone. The key is to thoroughly read the list of coverages to determine which plan is for you. You might also find previous threads on here with a few searches.

Thanks Jason. It’s actually a 1.5 that has a 4 front but a few spots of paperloss on the back.

Thanks CW for the insurance info. It’s something I need to look into as well. Standard homeowners I assume does not cover right? Need some kind of rider to your policy I suppose.
