Joke all you want buddy, but today is October 1, which means Bruce can come back to the BST whenever he feels like it.

I'm all tingly just thinking about it.

Default graded card storage

I have the expensive stuff in a safe deposit box and the less expensive in SGC boxes.

Did you see a sign on my lawn that said graded card storage?

I think this is an interesting thread but I wonder if collectors shouldn't clam up with all the internet snooping and info available as to where their cards are, what they are in and how can they can be located

That thought crossed my mind, but not until after I started the thread. I decided to let it run. I appreciate the security aspect and assume that most people use some combination of safe deposit boxes and/or safes.

I really asked because I recently, during a grading company special, had a couple of sets slabbed. Storing them is now a bigger challenge than it was when they were in binders.

I ran out of room here in the cabin and needed a new roof... so i stripped off the shingles and glued my entire collection of slabbed cards onto the sheathing up there ...just doing my part to be green.

anytime i wanna see my cards I just go to "google earth"

Default storage

I use a 2500 lb safe, fire resistant, with double locks, the master lock cant be cut as a lock cutter cant be spread open to get to the lock itself. If you tried to weld thru it you would burn everything inside making it worthless.

My most expensive items are kept in a safe deposit box at the bank...

I also use the case below to store my 52 set which now resides inside the safe..

If you're referring to the ones like Felicia and I posted, contact Matt M (mbmiller25 on the PSA boards). He has a connection (owns? works for? sells for?) Pelican, the company that makes those cases. Really nice guy too. I couldn't be happier with the case.
