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.

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

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.

The binder will go to my son
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.

i have posted this before, but I would NOT give it to my kids. They could each take an item or two they would like to remember me by.
The glory of this hobby is not owing something like a T206 or a 1975 set for that matter but the joy you get from the hunt and the privilege of the people you meet along the way. I would have never met Ted Z, Leon, William Chappel, Dave at Baggers and many others without the process of acquiring cards. Assuming he gets interested in cards, why would I take that from him? If life is kind, at some point, I will begin liquidating some of my cards...which I may invest in bigger cards... and hopefully be down to marketable clumps by the end. Right now my business is busy so it's not priority. I hope not to get hit by a bus tomorrow, but honesty, if I do, my insurance is pretty good and should take care of the family quite nicely. They can use the cards as a distraction in that case.

Mine will be sold off (hopefully before I go..
) Maybe go on a nice trip before we're to old.. My wife and I have no kids, my wife is an only child & I have a younger sister whom also doesn't want kids so at this point we have no one to give them too.

Kids will get my cards and guns unless they have no interest. If the later, I will sell them off in my golden years.
