I'm not sure that cards in slabs would be protected from moisture in a fireproof safe. Years ago I had some cards in one of those smaller Sentry fireproof safes, and the fire retardant produced so much moisture within the safe that it caused some of my PSA fips to get moist -- they became a bit warped and wavy. It did not have time to affect the cards that I noticed, but it sure made the flips look weird. At the time, this scared the crap out of me, so going forward I put the stacks of slabs in large ziplock baggies (double bagged), and that seemed to solve the moisture issue.
I don't believe PSA cases are airtight (not sure about SGC, although BGS is bulletproof). I now go the safety deposit box route, and I am considering adding insurance.
