Cheery stuff to ponder indeed. I may start a follow up "what would you do with your collection if you contract a terrible disease in 2018 that leaves you in 24 hour excruciating pain and are required to have all 4 limbs amputated"?

you need a 5th option:
Leave my collection to my family/children. That's different than "Nothing, let the survivors figure it out." Last edited by MVSNYC; 01-04-2018 at 11:24 AM. |

They will have plenty of money left for them in the estate. I made the boys promise me that they wouldn't sell as the collection represents a labor of love. If they do sell, I will haunt them from the grave!

This is a question that as a dealer I have put off for a number of years. This year I turn 70 and the question is becoming more pressing.
I will likely sell all my inventory and not look back. I see no heirs interested in my stuff, and they would not get as good a return as I would when I sell. Having cleared my inventory 7 times and started up again I don't view this as a problem. I haven't sold completely out for three years, so depending on my inventory after Cleveland it should be interesting. |

Nothing. If I am terminated this year my family wins a seven figure insurance lottery so they can dispose of the cards at will without pressure. I left them instructions as to who to call and how to do it.

Man I'm so torn. I'd love to sell it and just leave some cash in the estate but as a new dad (my son just turned 13 months) I don't really know.
Will he give a darn about baseball or the cards, who knows!? But if I knew I'd be going I feel like I'd leave a handful of cards to him with some notes explaining why they meant what they meant to me. |

I have neither a wife or children, but I would still sell most of the valuable cards, just because I'm curious what they would bring. I would give away some smaller cards to friends as keepsakes.

Sean, while I wish you nothing but long life and happiness, if it were ever to come to that, all you need to do is make one phone call my friend -- Your collection is beast and I would love to own some of it one day!

Steve, I can't wait to see what choices you give us in your poll.

With World War III right around the corner, this could be our last year. A very prescient question.
