Flood? In the vault? Unlikely. Plus, as long as you're not in the bottom and it's random branch bank, the vault is on the main floor and unlikely the water would get that high.

Theft? Who's robbing deposit boxes anymore? Maybe in Payday 2, but not in real life. The money JUST isn't worth it, unless you're after a specific box. It's the same reason you don't hear about armoured car robberies anymore. The amount of money they carry around isn't changing anyone's life, so it's not worth it.

Fire? Again, at least at my local bank, the vault room is all concrete and metal. You might get some smoke damage, but that's not terrible.

Plus, if you put them in a Swiss Bank Vault or something, you don't have to worry about any of these, you just have to worry about forgetting your pass code :P

Flood in the vault - maybe you've heard of hurricane katrina.....Even top boxes underwater.

Thefts happen. Although highly unlikely it would suck to find out your box got robbed and the bank offers you a simple "sorry bout your bad luck". Funny thing is that they probably lost less in cash than you would have. Banks don't hold that much money on a regular basis any more. I worked at a bank for a while and they had maybe a hundred thousand on hand on average.

I realize these are both extreme situations but shit happens.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you'd be better off keeping them at your house and insuring them.

Out of interest, about what value are the cards shown there? I can guess the foil staples like emrakul, deathrite etc but the summer cards and especially the city of traitors, could range from 2k-10k ?
why is the UL mox btw in the case, high grades or just random being in a case because of being a mox ? :)

Fair enough for the examples, but I'd say they're decently extreme. Maybe I'm just a spoiled Canadian where bad things just don't happen here :P

But Raphy, very nice stuff. Were these all recent acquisitions, or were you just waiting until you had enough stuff to go to the bank?

Raphy is selling a lightning bolt and a playset of REB for MUCH more on MCM. Who's closest to the "correct" value, if there is any such thing as a "correct value" for Summer cards, I can't tell, though.

lands.dec looking better and better. These just in. (Thanks to Occam)

Matt, DON'T LET THEM KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!! They might beat the passcode out of you...

I understand bro. But my case is even worst: sold 3 foil pristine copies 5 years ago for 40usd each... Tear ;(

my only thing about acquiring them now is that they'll get reprinted, and i'll feel stupid for paying 300+ for the old border.

400+ seems to be Price for English foils (sold the three English foils i replaced for 1300 combined)

but paying xxx for old border/rarity seems fine to me. I already pay quite a Premium for old border (A/B duals over revised)

[Rome]

The whole Playset signet!!

Exactly. The ports and the old fetchlands. Sooner or later they will get a reprint.. otherwise Modern may collapse...

I can almost guarantee that those prices he has listed for REB and bolt are grossly overpriced and are more for display than actual selling. I don't think summer demonic tutor is worth 2,500 euros and that's an uncommon as well as highly sought after in comparison to REB, which is a common as well as bolt. If anyone buys those REBs or that single bolt they are fools. In comparison to those REB's you could buy a whole lot of lotuses or other pieces of power. For that bolt price you can buy a lot of alpha/beta dual lands or if you can find one a summer dual land for 5 grand in euros isn't unreasonable although they don't pop up often.

how does rishadan port affect modern?

I have already hesitate to buy one at 5K€, if you can find me one for 2500€, i'll insta-buy

Get in line. I almost jumped on that Summer Sea that was floating around Europe.
