Bruce - when u kick the bucket, where does your collection go?

Not being smart, just curious. I wonder what the big cheese do with their collections when the party is over? Ya know the percent that give to their kids, the percent who have it go straight to an auction house for the miss's to cash in on, etc.

Men with that ego and sense of superiority probably think they never will kick the bucket. Despite this, he is just like the rest of us No one cares about his collection now, it has made no imprint on history, and no one will remember him or the things he possessed once his life on this earth is done.

They won't kick the bucket. They'll just turn a little pail

I think the number of bidders is much too high at 25,000. I would guess that if you collated all of the bidder lists from these various auction houses the number of different bidders/winners would be much more in the 5,000 range and perhaps as low as 2,500 different people on lots over $1,000.

I'm confused...of the 500 people who spend $10K a year, how many of them are Bruce?

Take Care,

Default Memories of The Way We Were

Whilst the insane, rude and stupid comments with regard to our health, since we have been quite ill warrant no response, we will share our plans with you. We are single and have no children.

About $250,000 worth of Negro and Cuban items will go the Negro League Museum in Kansas City. Several other important items will be left to the New York Historical Story and Museum of the City of New York- where we serve as consultants. Both of these museums, Mr. Boston College Loser, have displayed our collections.

Those items that are not donated will be sold by REA Auctions. 25% of the money will be donated to a fund we have established, at New York's most important medical center. We will ensure to include a clause in our will that prohibits the medical center for treating you "death lovers"- albeit Payne Whitney Clinic (electric shock treament ) certainly sounds appropriate for your illness.

As for not being remembered, we helped build two different billion dollar companies. We bought one of the most successful web sites in history for $900,000 which, at its peak grew to $5 billion. We also graduated magna cum laude,from one of the top universities in the country- certainly not a second tier business school like yours.

We should, note, however that the former Boston College basketball coach did take our Ivy League team to the final four.

Finally, we wonder if you would be so kind as to mention where your "world class" collection will go when you croke- we might want some decorative items for our butler's pantry

Default you're nobody until somebody cares

We are particularly amused by the comments that "no one cares."

Funny, how we have hundreds of active business clients around the world.

On the hobby front,we hear regularly from four major
museums, not to mention the wealthiest collectors,
and the top dealers in the country.

As far a mark history, we're not interested in leaving one...of course
we could never hope to be voted the most unpopular physics professor
in the country or become infamous for card altering, auction fixing,
or defrauding customers.

If no one really cares about our what we have to say, why do our posts consistently generate 4x as many replies as all the others? We are far too busy to pay attention to postings, tweets or people that do not matter to us.

We think it is time to leave well enough alone, and close this thread.

All the best,
