Inheritance - splitting up your collection in your will

[nebboy]

IM 58 and have a boy with a driving permit. He says he likes my collection but I can tell he wants to make me happy. So we came up with the idea that because of my age I will probably not know my grandchildren as adults so I would like to give my 5 best to him for his kids with a note from me to them to pass along this cards from grandpa John to as many generations as possible. I will sell the rest of my collection for my kid to put a down payment on a house when he’s ready.

That’s a great idea John - both practical and generous.

Best thing I've read on Net54 - Ever!

I probably need to advise my daughter, my only heir. My guess is she would give it to an auction house to sell. Who knows, maybe I will sell my collection again...in 20-30 yrs or something.
