My cards are going to be with me when I drive off a cliff the day after my 80th birthday. My last words will be see you in Hell and I'll be talking to my cards and the hitchhiker I picked up five minutes earlier

Good question. I have no kids, and have no idea. If my wife is alive, she gets them and she can sell them, if my wife is gone, i guess its whoever i leave everything to, either my brother-in-law or a friend. Unfortunetely my best collecting friend has terminal cancer right now or else he would have been perfect to leave my cards to. Guess i should come up with a better plan than i have now.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Let me say that if I KNEW a museum or whatever would display some of my cards, then I would donate. But I agree I wouldn't want them to sit in storage.

I have two daughters - one will get my Shooty Babitt master collection and the other will get my Larry White master collection. I may throw in an OJ Greenwood each.

John, I am slightly jealous. I only do cardboard, although I do have, what appears to be, a signed baseball with PCL ball players from my grandfather.

It's all getting sold off. My main filing cabinet has a paper on top of the top drawer with instructions--where everything is (including the computer files with images and records), who to contact, even the text of an e-mail to send. She doesn't know anything about cards or memorabilia, but I made sure she knows where that paper is.

I'm getting older by the minute. I have no children & no wife. No cousins & no nephrews. I'm considering auctioning off my cards & using the money for my funeral.

Between this and Tony's movie plot in the zone farewell thread, it's the most morning laughter I've had in a while!

Hilarious

The kid gets it all.
I have one son and he is into collecting so he will get it.
Oh, for those that don't want to live past a certain age, just wait and get a little closer to it and lets see if you still have the same attitude.

I've already discussed it with your wife, that's the only one she promised not the shred

Shred them? Other than marrying me, my wife's no fool. She knows money when she sees it!

Have you seen your updated life insurance policy I recommended for her in exchange for that card? It's substantial! Your daughter doesn't even go to college, she's vacationing in California, you're just paying the higher premiums

I've left instructions with my wife. Give them to my brother to sell, he's a collector too (modern, not vintage). He'll sell them and use the money for my kids college/future/etc. While I don't like to talk about mortality, it needs to be done. My wife wouldn't have any idea what to do with my cards.
