Good small safe for Comics, Cards, Games? 0

[TheAvenger80]

Hey guys. I’m looking for a small safe which would be .. safe.. to hold a few comics, sports cards, and video games. Basically I’m looking to put my very best stuff in this safe. I know a while ago I read up on this and it was feared that certain safes could be harmful to paper collectibles. I can’t remember if this was due to some sort of coating in the safe or if it was because these types of collectibles need air to “breathe”. 
 

Any suggestion or info appreciated!

If it's for theft I either get creative at home or the expensive stuff is kept at my office safe. Bank boxes are a option. If for fire just read the specs. Monitor humidity, will probably need a dehumidifier.

I do remember a post about safes and staple rust.

Better to buy a 9mm or pitbull.  Safes just degrade everything.

This is the one I use.

Well, I should rephrase that...

This is the one I have.

I would also suggest not just researching what safes can do to comics but google how easy it is to open most safes that are sold in box stores and on Amazon. They are pretty pointless.

Any safe is pointless if you give a criminal ample time and opportunity.

I have a sentry fire safe also, they’re fine if you open them up regularly and keep dessicant bags in them (the fire proofing traps moisture).

When you've found one you like, check out The Lockpicking Lawyer on YouTube, and see if he's done a video on it. If so, that's probably not a good thing.
