safe deposit box for safety, but I look at it online all the time, almost daily. Nice stress reliever.

The safe deposit box in my profile pic has been overflowing for a while. It used to be very neatly packed with top loaders and I only saw my cards when I added another, but of late the PSA/SGC holders have become a total space killer. Out of necessity I keep more cards at home, which has made me more clingy with my collection. I've got a bedroom display, which I rotate regularly, and have even started carrying a small box of favorites with me on my frequent business trips (wish I could use air miles on cards).. just eases my mind knowing I've got a little stash nearby.

My fiancee thinks I'm completely nuts but also concedes it's "cute" how much I love them..

I keep my high buck cards in the vault and reference the scans on a pseudo daily basis. I have cards all over the place at home so it's hard to NOT see at least 1 or 2 of them on a daily basis whether I intend to or not! I'll often pull up a card or two and leave it on my computer desktop to enjoy throughout the day!

Part of me enjoys viewing the scans of my cards more than looking at the cards themselves!

I probably go through the majority of my collection a few times/yr to organize and arrange them by type and issue.

Seeing all of the amazing cards on here...on a daily basis...curbs my cravings for cards on a daily basis!

I'm retired so I spend a fair amount of time with my cards. Have a safe that was once full of my best cards but found the need to display most of them. Remodeled my "Hobby Room" recently and have enjoyed relaxing with the collection while while also enjoying a cold beer. Home has a security system and the "ROOM" on the top floor has special protection with re-inforced doors and locks. Where I live there is a lot of crime but most of these thieves are to lazy and stupid to climb an extra fleight of stairs. I do carry additional insurance in case of fire or theft. I enjoy sending cards to my grandson in New Orleans and then talking on the phone with him about his little collection. Great fun for an old man like me.

Default Safe Deposit Box

All of my best cards are in my safe deposit box, but I keep my website and a picassa album pretty active. I spent a half hour this morning making this composite image of the 39 different subject signed T206s I have, so I could enjoy them all scrunched together in a way that would not be possible if I placed them all on a table or floor...

That is beautiful- thank you for showing that !!!

Sincerely, Clayton

Oh yeah.....I look at my collection online all of the time, otherwise a few times a week. It's nice to inspect them for the 1000th time in hand as well

Default How many times per day?

I have a guest bedroom converted to my memorabilia room so I look at parts of my collection several times per day. The walls are covered with sports related posters, pictures, and other advertising signs, the back of the room has my pre-1920 handmade bat collection (about 130), and the bookshelves and closet hold the card collection. No matter where I look I get to enjoy.

John

I look at online scans of my cards every 2-3 days. I look at the actual cards probably once a month or so. The high value cards are in a safety deposit box.

Fortunately (or, I guess unfortunately for me) my collection does not come close to anyone's on this site...but I'm happy with my SGC 10 T206's and Nolan Ryan stuff. I look at it probably once a week....I sleep easy with my SigSaur next to me!
