Insurance vs. monster safe

[steve B]

It's probably best to have both. If someone really wants something and has enough time they will find a way to get at it.

Am I the only one who has used a big pile of "junk" cards as security? At one time I had a cheap collection plus like 30 monster boxes of late 1980's - early 90's cards. I'd heard theives were looking for quickly findable valuable stuff, so when I went away for the weekend or longer I'd put the good stuff at the bottom of the pile. Plus my beater box was labeled "rare/better cards" and was always on top. Fortunately the system was never put to the test.
(And I gave away the 5000 + vg or worse 88 Donruss etc when the box got full)
