Would you rather have your cards in hand, or setting in PWCC's vault?

If you're not the type that needs to have it in hand (and there's certainly nothing wrong with that), then buy it and put it in a self-directed 401k. At least you would get the tax benefits.

On another note, one of the objections that I hear quite often is that it's too bulky, too hard to store. No, that's not really true.

Good answer; get your point. I wouldn't put a card in the PWCC vault if it was the last vault in America. Tangible is cool. I get that.
