In 2nd Peter, Peter tells is that even though they personally saw Jesus and heard his voice, that they have something more sure than even THAT, the Scriptures.

Your very sentence denies "the only place His revelation to man can be found is in the Bible"... The Witness of the Apostles IS God's revelation - the Scriptures come to us FROM them.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:21

It is this speaking, as moved by the Spirit, that is God's revelation. You make a presumption you cannot possibly prove - that the Bible encapsulates everything that the Apostles spoke.

that the Bible encapsulates everything that the Apostles spoke. No, that wasn't the claim or the point.

Peter says that the word is more sure than the voice of God.

And don't forget:

Psalms 138:2
 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Who ever said that it did?

What God wanted later generations to know is what is written down.

We have a number of books cited in the Old Testament that did not make it into the Canon.
