Safes
Bill---I have a safe and a safety deposit box but do not use either for cards. Because I collect sets, and lots of them, and display them all in binders, it is not a viable option for me. Insurance and a lot of pictures is the route I have gone.
But I think you should get a cheap slabbed card, put it in you oven at 250 and then up it by 50 degrees ay intervals until you find it's meting point. And then report back. To be thorough you may need to get a cheap slab from each major grading company and report which one holds out the longest

Bill as much as you like to look at your cards, I would personally vote SDB. Even though there is very little chance that your house or the bank burns down, I would personally feel safer with higher dollar items sitting in a vault even if it takes me 20-30 minutes to drive there to get them out. I figure you have to have a bank /w safety boxes fairly close

If you have some super expensive one of a kind items, i'd probably store those in a safety deposit box until...unless of course you can afford some type of custom safe/room with ample fire protection.
Otherwise, if its just "nice" ebay-able stuff, I would just protect them with a nice, easily found fire safe. If the house burns down, I think your baseball cards will be pretty far down the list of concerns, compared to your family or even truly irreplaceable items like photos and heirlooms. Take pictures of what you own and upload them to photobucket or something and make sure that the items are insured and then move on.
