<p>[QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 1085752, member: 27107"]My parents used a grey, metal, lockable box for their valuable papers since they were first married over 63 years ago, and upgraded to a fireproof version lockbox. They were going to throw the old box away because they had lost the key, and I rescued the old lockbox and contacted a local locksmith, that had the box for 6 weeks fililing away untill he finally made a new key that worked. The box is 10'" long, by 8 1/2" wide, by 5" tall, which is absolutley perfect for graded notes, (small-size notes). I only own about 100 to 120 graded notes, and they all fit into this old lockbox. Coincidentally, I had 3 PCGS notes that were about 3/4" too tall to fit inside the old lockbox, so I contacted Laura Kessler (VP PCGS), and mentioned this to her, and she said to bring the notes to FUN, in Tampa, and she would have them reholdered for $5.00 per note......she kept her promise, and I had them back within an hour.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/scan0002-11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
