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 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.

I'm going to wait until I'm a grandfather, and then I'm hiding the collection in my attic.

I'll try to get a picture of it and send it to you. Has to be rare, he barely played in the majors. I was shocked when I got the MLB package and saw him on the A's telecasts

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.

with several pages of instructions. Everything I've found out about Howe and his life (which really isn't much) and then the choice...
keep it, and occasionally check eBay to see if any more show up, and if he can afford it at the time, try and add them to the collection. Don't keep it just because it was my idea, but if he want to carry on the idea of reassembling the group, keep it. or sell it off, but only as a complete lot. I've left instructions of who I think should handle the sale, along with giving them the information I've found out, in hopes that at auction, it might generate a bid of interest in getting a set with a fair sized number of cards all in one lot. He may just discover that nobody but me would be interested. |

There are variations to my answer, but in the end they would go to my son. He's 21 right now but if I die suddenly tomorrow it would be some years before they would be passed to him by the executor of my trust. If I die suddenly some years from now, I will have likely explained to him where to find them, how to get access to them, and how to sell them if he so chooses. If I die many years from now as an ailing senior (death bed type thing), I will likely pass them off to him myself.
