Otherwise you will certainly miss them and have to take more trips to the bank!

Ugh. I think I would quit the hobby if I ever had to keep my cards in a bank vault. (no offense to anyone that does..I get it. But I just like to look at the beauties too much and would use an insane amount on gas getting to and from the bank.) :-)

It's tough, but as someone who was the victim of a home break in, fortunately just after I got back into the hobby, it's a necessary precaution for my own piece of mind.

Exactly. So when they break in when you're not home, they'll steal your gun and not your cards.

No. For when you are not home you need to do something like this first guy:

If you're "not looking to sell" then you're collecting.

Buy sell hold accumulate

You left out "enjoy"

[MR RAREBACK]

correct I am looking to accumulate and enjoy for the rest of my life.
I will hate the day when it comes time to sell
I have had a passion for cards since childhood my parents would
not let me talk about baseball cards at the dinner table

I had this exact thing happen. They left all my cards and the expensive guns and stole a cheap Ruger P89 9mm and a few boxes of ammo.LOL The gun was the only thing that was stolen. Because I have a list with all my guns serial #s I was lucky and when the thief was caught I got my gun back.

I used to buy and sell a lot of cards. Now I buy and hoard a lot of cards.

My son's home near Downtown Atlanta was burglarized about 4 years ago. They took electronics and threw his graded cards (some T206's but mostly 50's-70's rookie HOFer's) on the bedroom floor.
Btw, he moved to a less crime area a year later.
