The fact that they are in safety deposit boxes is due to my fear of keeping them "viewable". It is unfortunate but when a card or collectible reaches a certain value then I think it needs some type of protection.

I have thousands of collectibles in my reach that are not considered valuable enough to lose.

We all collect because we LOVE it I hope. Once things get valuable there is an obvious choice we all need to make. Keep it under the bed or get it to a bank or get it to the Vault (in the future). I'm not happy that I can't view my cards every day but I am at peace knowing where they are for viewing once a week!

Peace, Mike
If the bank is a good compromise, why send to a remote site where you presumably won't be able to view them at all?

The insurance angle is what interested me. I will read the fine print thank you. Yes, I could go out and buy insurance myself but I do not want the hassle. PWCC has been dealing in HIGH end cards for years, I trust them. Their client portal is above reproach. I LIKE them.

My bank is nearby, I visit it regularly but I like to diversify my collectibles and this is just another option. I will not send all of my cards to the Vault. I like having collectibles in different places. As someone who has experienced a robbery and theft of some of my collectibles in the past, I am very leary of all avenues of storage.

Diversification of where I store my stuff is key to keeping me sane and happy.

I may lose a portion of my collection, but I will never lose all of it.

Peace, Mike

I do not think one should look at the lending as a “margin” type of Vehicle. If one could use short to intermediate lending for other purposes that come up in life but may not want to sell a specific card or cards, this allows that to be facilitated. A typical bank will not lend based on baseball cards. Def not for the masses.
