Moisture: the safe deposit box's worst enemy.

[Runscott]

There were traces of rust in my old bank's safe deposit box, so I always put an archival bag on the bottom of the box. Then I don't think about it.

Ok, Scott, you're talking to a novice. What may I ask is an archival bag? I will look online, and I'm sure I'll find out some basic information. But maybe you can give me some better information. Thanks!

What ever you do. I would go to the bank at least once a month and check on them.

Just because it is acid-free - I stack slabbed/sleeved cards and autographs on top of it, as opposed to laying them straight on the metal.

My bank's safety deposit box vault is climate controlled. I also visit the cards once a month or so. Never a problem over many years now.
