Protecting your collectibles – the right Trading card storage

Trading card (or collectible’s card) has been around for decades. Traditionally, they have been associated with sports such as football, basketball, baseball and other sports with professional coverage. Lately, collectors cards have extended to non-sport trading such as cartoons like Pokemon or other Fantasy arts with game play functions.

 

The value of these cards can vary greatly depending on their condition, popularity and scarcity. As these are paper cards, their condition can may degrade if not kept properly, which can impact its value. Grading of cards can be done by third party companies and some of the most recognizable trading card grading company include PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), BGS (Beckett Grading Services) and SGC (Sports Card Guaranty). New grading card players include CSG and HGA. These companies provide grading services that can help determine the grade of the card and hence create an intrinsic value as well as the card’s authenticity.

With the value of some of these trading cards and memorabilia, most collectors keep them in pristine collection in their home, which is more or not a secure place. However, the protection against fire is often neglected and these create an extreme risk of losing everything in the event of a fire accident. Fire do not select what to take depending on value but destroy and turn every paper item in their path into ash. The best way to protect against this incident is to be prepared and put them inside storage that is fireproof which would be a fireproof safe or fireproof chest.
