【摘要2023.3.23.四.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。
