【摘要2023.3.23..自由】孫宇青

The ordinary brown brick building, tucked within a nondescript block in Delaware, hints that something important lay inside, possibly even precious.

這座藏身於德拉瓦州一個平凡街區的尋常棕色磚造建築物,暗示著裡頭置放著重要、甚至可能稱得上珍貴的某些物品。

There’s a rare Pikachu card and a pair of sneakers worn and signed by the late NBA great Kobe Bryant.

裡頭放著稀有的皮卡丘卡片,以及已過世的美國職籃偉大球星柯比布萊恩曾穿過,而且留有簽名的一雙球鞋。

In all, $200 million in collectibles are stored in two vaults inside the building, equipped with some of the latest technology to keep the valuable cache safe from harm or thieves.

總的來說,有價值2億美元的珍藏品被收藏在該建物裡的兩座金庫,內部配備著某些最新科技,保護這些珍貴的物件不被損害或盜竊。

"A lot of people don’t keep jewelry at their house. They keep it at a safety deposit box," said Ross Hoffman, the chief executive officer of Goldin Co., a division of industry giant Collectors.

Goldin公司執行長羅斯霍夫曼說:「很多人不把珠寶放在家裡,而是保管在安全的保險箱中。」該公司是產業巨擘Collectors的一個分支。
