I store the majority of my high dollar stuff (>$500) in 1" and 1/2" lucite screwdowns. I'm lucky enough to have dedicated a room in my house to my collection. I'm continually changing who and what are on display. Those not on display are stored in cedar trunks in the room's closet and under the tables and bookshelves in the card room. The room is 18' x 16', oak floors - deeply stained, shelving and tables are dark hardwood, a deep brown leather lounge chair sits in a corner, the walls are draped with framed vintage magazine covers of Wagner, Cobb, Ruth, etc. The room is designed to set the mood and "frame" the treasures that lie there.
Next on my agenda is to design a vault that could withstand hurricane force winds and place it high enough as to avoid flood waters so that my collection can be safe from future Ivan's.
