Default How to protect your card collection

I was looking for storage ideas for my collection. I have multiple PSA 65 count boxes, and was wondering how to protect them. Safety deposit boxes or safes could only fit a certain amount, but I don't like my cards to be that far away from me. I have seen fireproof storage lockers, but these are quite large and VERY expensive. Just wondering what methods members here use to protect a large collection of cards. Thanks!

I have heard of others using large heavy duty gun safes, i do not own one myself, but from what i understand you can use rosin bags to control any moisture. They provide protection, quick access and would be tough to walk off with.

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).
