Best way to preserve a card

I want to distinguish between preserving and protecting the card. The card will be put in a safety deposit box so protecting is not a huge concern. Most important is preventing the card stock from deteriorating. The card I want to preserve is from 2007.

I have read the best way to preserve something made of paper is using Mylar/polyester sleeve. The Library of Congress uses Mylar to protect paper documents.

Another option is a PSA holder. Does anyone know if a PSA holder preserve a card better than a polyester sleeve?

    I would think a beckett grading holder would be best. It has an inner sleeve already so the card won't move & is protected by the case. Plus add to that you'll have it in a safety deposit box in the dark... Yeah that sounds like a perfect way to preserve imo!

    How about laminating it, heard that works pretty good?? JK




    I think that if it is in a safety deposit box and in a card saver, that would be good enough.
