card in bank safe deposit box

[ValKehl]

Nelson, My SDB also serves as my "insurance" - and I keep my fingers crossed that nothing similar to what happened at the Montreal bank happens at my bank!

Probably extremely rare...first time i saw a story like that in Quebec.

Had mine in a couple of banks for probably 15+ years. They even survived moves to different locations when my bank was bought out by another bank and the branch closed.

Have also used safe deposit boxes for 15 plus years. I've moved banks once or twice and upsized boxes with my collection. Never had a problem.. Except I can't see them when I want to

Also used safe deposit box for years. Never seen any humidity issues.

I'd be interested to know how many of you using sdp are also insuring those cards. When my collection has grown a little more, I plan on having my high value cards at the bank, keeping my other, less valuable cards in a safe, with sets and commons boxed and in the closet. But I anticipate I'll insure the cards at the bank, as well as those in my safe.

My SDB contents are not insured. Probably be wise to do so, but I haven't.

It is always a good idea to Insure your cards In a SDB in case of fire or theft as SDBs are not covered by FDIC insurance.

I keep my cards in a SDB and never worry about it. I combat the potential for humidity with those little gel packs you can buy. Pretty sure collectibles insurance will not apply to items stolen from or damaged in a SDB. Before I paid for insurance on top of an SDB I would be sure to read the fine print.

On a lighter note...

I have had a few in one for many years, never had a problem.
I scanned the cards into my computer and printed them on photo paper and then put them in the safety deposit box. The cards i scanned and printed look great cut to life-size in my albums sheets with my real cards.

I kept my valuables in a SDB for a few years until the bank went out of business and they made me come and get em. I live in a very rural area and the banks are all small and have a very limited number of boxes. It's hard to even get one. Waiting lists. Anyway, the time my cards were in the bank, I lost interest in collecting. I have them back home now and I look at them everyday. I take some precautions, but no it is not very safe. To me if you have to lock your collection away, then what's the use having it?
