Fireproof Archival Storage. No Ball Cubes.

the biggest worry is not heat and fire it will be the mold that grows inside those type safes , very hard like a gun safe dealing with humidity , the more secure the safe the more problem you will have , the only way to maybe get a handle is have a safe with a power built in control and even then i would be worried about the balls over anything. you would almost have to weekly monitor and open it

Wouldn't placing desiccants inside the safe be the best option for reducing the humidity inside? They can be purchased for various size spaces.

very tricky because you end up having to monitoring it and the ball would be a perfect thing to get jacked , guns will still start to rust , with balls bleeding anyway it would be to me very risky

Get jacked? It's a 400 lb safe, bolted to the floor. Even the locksmith would have to drill it open, which would take quite a few hours.
Balls bleeding? A desiccant works fine. Not to mention that just opening the safe every so often deals with any humidity.
What's risky is having your collection in your house with no fire protection.

Well, should I go the safe route (and I use the double meaning intentionally), I'm certainly not worried about getting jacked, or mold. Partner.

jacked as in jacked up the ball not somebody moving a safe out , but you seem to have it figured out , my yearly comment offering actual real knowledge about something , to be honest you asked about buying a safe , seemed like you were wanting a opinion on that . but it seems like you have already made your mind up , and thats fine . i actually have a larger and more expensive safe i would bet and it has those same claims . the main problem is humidity and i was getting at the electric dehumidifier works better but still tricky but its fine will be back next year
