My wife has said that I should just leave my two best cards to my two sons (2 years old, and 4 months old, respectively), and sell the rest, which is probably a good strategy when I croak. I am still optimistic that at least one of them will pick up the collecting bug, however. If I have to exit the hobby for financial reasons, I would sell my most replaceable cards first, and my favorite, least replaceable cards last. Cards that have poor eye appeal or are "overgraded" would also go sooner. For example, my 33 Goudey set is easily replaceable. I have a few Ruth and Gehrig cards that are very low pops and would be hecka hard to get back. I would try to hold onto those.
