Do you utilize a vault service for your cards?

I bought two $5 cards using the PWCC auction and have them in their vault because I wanted to try it.

I can somewhat see the appeal on stuff you are solely buying to resell.

No, I just insure it myself, store it myself. If I can't look at them from time to time I don't see the point. I think the only way I'd use a vault is to save the taxes on a big item.

Seems like services mostly pointed towards those looking to do a quick flip, maximize short term profit, and minimize their work storing and shipping items. Kind of the "day traders" of the card collecting world.

I think most people here are more "buy and hold" types. For us in that camp, especially those of us that are collectors first, we'd prefer to hold the card, look at it, and don't mind not maximizing short-term products if it'll be months/years/decades before we sell a card.

Exactly!

I suppose there is a place for vaults, but I don’t have a use for them. Safe and safety deposit boxes work well. Also, secret shelf in grandma’s attic by the chimney is an underrated safe spot . Don’t tell anyone!

I hate that eBay pushes this service so hard in listings… annoying.
