Nice enough to keep people away from my collection......





And yes, the little ankle biter in the background is also ours.

If you have a significant investment in your cards and you want the cards readily available to you at home then I would invest $800 - $1K for a nice gun locker (safe).

Default We -My father and me

we use a safty deposit box for our best cards. We also use a Knack tool box that we keep at his house because he is retired and home all the time. The tool box is all metal and has a lock in a tiny hole that can not be cut. These tool boxes are used on job sites to keep your tools from being stolen- a very tough box to break in to-I guess equal to a gun safe.

I keep folders on my computer with all my scans so I can still enjoy my cards. Also makes for a real fun visit to my dads-we are like two little kids-we get them all out and talk cards/coins for days.

Are there any waterproof Gun Safes?

Definatley something to consider, especially if the safe will be in a basement where flooding could occur. Broken water heaters, leaky pipes, flooding, etc....

Probably a good idea to raise it off the ground or put a safe on another floor of the house.

Robert and in less than 10 minutes I could make you $400 investment cost you Thousands. It takes less than 10 minutes to break that safe with a steel 5ft pry-bar. Actually the time is much less depending on experience. A great bank safe gets my most valuable items. I am very anti home safe unless it is built like a tank and has a fire, water, and break-in guarentee. Thats going to cost you $ but well worth it.
