If the item is not being displayed then it is "in the dark".

I have no desire to display them but I like taking them out when interested parties visit. Right now I have too many signed cards. Leaning towards putting the very valuable ones in a bank deposit box, moderate ones in a locked fireproof file cabinet we own and the rest in boxes. I am thinking of selling all except HOF and potential HOF and have already sold my pre 1970 signed that fit that category (except T205-6 which I will open for trade sometime in the next few months). Sounds like I have months of scanning to do but should be worth it

I would recommend keeping the most valuable items in a heavy safe that is bolted to the floor and has a humidity control device. A nice heavy duty gun safe would do. I would stay away from any cheap standup safes that aren't heavy duty and lack the bolt to the floor. You mentioned a concrete basement, I would bolt that sucker into the concrete for extra strength. This is just my opinion.
