My expectation is that the white hat wearing library administrators will de-access the baseball card in the future and allocate the funds.

I started to think about donating to a museum at some later time in my life. At one point after seeing an anemic early tobacconist exhibit at the Flagler museum I thought that might be a good spot. Then I learned about de-accession - not gonna happen. Rather my things be sold in the open market to get them into the hands of appreciative collectors despite the likely ten cents on the dollar return :-)

sorry for the off topic post but you crossed into my wheelhouse.....

To stay off topic. I did donate several cards to a museum this spring. I donated Ruth, Williams, Mantle, Mays, and several other players. All the cards where graded and from when they actually played. I had been working with the museum for several months before they received the cards. It gave me time to get the cards and have some of them graded. To this day they are not on display and I highly doubt I would ever do it again.
