Also a discussion in my household. She knew when we met that my Iowa collection was to go to the Bob Feller museum in Van Meter. Unfortunately, it has since closed. I have debated willing to state historical museum but hate the idea of it in storage. I know she will probably liquidate my collection and will make sure it get back into the hands of like minded people. My four sons have no interest in baseball or its history, damned anime and Pokemon. I just hope they do something one in a lifetime with the money.
I have had conversations with my father, 73 who collects foreign coins, pre-cancelled stamps and guns. I have no interests in the guns or stamps. He has directed my who to contact when its time to sell them. Guns are another story, I'll use a different one for deer hunting every year for life. We have talked about how I am to use a portion of the money to take a season long trip to Egypt, we will never get the chance together.
Probably an important subject for and collector to have with loved ones.
