In the past, what has been the common trend is, if a player dies suddenly, his cards will skyrocket for the short term, then fall way off in price. People often buy the cards as a sort of remembrance of the player- but since the player's career is over, unless the player was HOF caliber, or a national hero (Pat Tillman comes to mind) the cards quickly become common.

Nick Adenhart of the Angels is a great example (young player killed in an auto accident several years ago)
When he was killed, his autograph RC cards spiked to over 100 dollars. Now, they can be found in bulk lots for 1.00 or less.

If he loves Ventura, he should keep the card.

If the sole goal is profit, selling right away is the best option (please dont judge me here, I'm just reporting on what Ive noticed in the hobby, not saying selling now is ok, in bad taste, or anything else)
