I am giving serious consideration to selling my collection or at least 90% of it. It is probably worth $1,000,000, maybe more. The majority can be viewed at

That doesn't include a few thousand post 1960 autographed cards of HOFers or future HOFers as collection has over 100 Koufax and 30-50 signed cards of most HOFers who played in the 1950s and onward as well as say 50 different Ichiro, maybe 100 different each on common HOFers- Brooks R, etc even about 50 Mantle. Amazing multisigned card collection.
Would listen to a serious buyer
Would you if you were me
1) Consign to a AH- they'd put many in lots that wouldn't get optimum price
2) Let rich collectors cheery pick it on items they are willing to overpay on?
3) Look for one wealthy seller willing to buy it all
Then the 2nd major set of questions is considering I have been doing serious buying since 2002, and haven't kept receipts etc how would you look at it all from a tax standpoint.
I haven't decided to do this yet but am considering a major change of lifestyle where the collection can become more of a burden than a joy.
Thanks in advance for all your advice
