<p>[QUOTE="omahaorange, post: 1419064, member: 28199"]You're looking at this kind of backwards. You spend $800 on a safe to store a $1500 collection today, and you can't justify this? Okay, but what will your collection be worth in ten years, considering appreciation in value and increasing the contents of the collection? In ten years you now have a collection worth $15,000, yet you still only have $800 invested in the safe. Most safes will not wear out. So if this is the route you want to take, look at it in the long term rather than the immediate.</p><p><br /></p><p>For what it's worth, I keep my more valuable stuff in a small fire-proof safe in a double-locked metal cabinet with the rest of my collection. Not the most secure set-up in the world, but enough to keep the honest people honest. If somebody wants it (or anything else) bad enough, they'll find a way to get it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
