I agree 100%. I collect for enjoyment, not investment.
When I die the enjoyment dies with me. I've already instructed my son that when I'm gone the cards are all his and he is to immediately sell them for whatever he can (it's all 100% profit for him) and spend it on something memorable and enjoyable for him.
That way three people get something out of the collection (myself, my son, the person he sells them to). Hard to see a downside there.
If your hobby is about how much money you can make from it, that's not a hobby.
