I've always tried to look at my collection very realistically. I enjoy collecting and this is MY hobby, and I don't expect anyone else in my family to appreciate it as I do. If I croaked tomorrow my wife has detailed instructions on where and how to squeeze every last dime out of my collection, and I wouldn't care if she consigned/sold it the very next day. My collection means something to me, but I don't expect anyone else to be sentimental about it because at the end of the day it's just a hobby and just stuff.
If I'm lucky enough to live a long life I also have an age/time in mind where I'll start selling and take the bulk of what I have off the table. This would be to reduce the burden of selling after I'm gone, but I'm sure I'll always collect something as long as I'm alive.
