Do you consider protecting them from fire? If you do, what do you use?
I have a small metal box right now I have some of my most valued cards in. Let me know how you protect your collection from this danger.

Fire....Do you think about it????

I would think you would have a greater chance of being burglarized than losing your pc in a fire but Something to think about ... I always figured my renters ins would cover it but now that I think about it probably not. You probably do need a separate policy and a stated value of the cards.

I definitely have some thinking to do.
I keep mine in a waterproof/fireproof safe becuase I have thought about it. I dont want a fire or flood to happen I think to myself "what it i had them in a better protected place?" And most are graded for added protection. Also they are in little plastic clamshells for the graded cards for even more added protection.

This is a very IRONIC thread. I don't ever read, and my wife LOVES it, and I hadn't read a book in a long time, so I decided, hell, I loved this book when I was younger, let me read it again. It was...

RE: Fire....Do you think about it????
I have a $100,000 insurance policy on my cards and electronics. Several documents and a seperate insurance policy and I got my agent to get me coverage no matter what happens. Costs me about $50 extra a month on top of my renters insurance. I still try to protect them tho - They go on a shelf in front of the front window with a sign on the window that says "Valuable cards, DO NOT STEAL!!" >.>
P.S - I think you're just paranoid LOL
I was too worried about the end of the world in 2012 to even think about this. Fire and the end of the world. Are our cards covered?!!
