I'm in the clear. No wife, and I'm immortal. I travel through life with my sword avoiding people named Kurgan.

Makes you wonder why some sharp legal beagle hasn't started up a "service" marketed to senescent collectors worried about just that eventuality. Any survivor lacking knowledge of the value of collectibles is liable to pawn them off for whatever they might bring. But an executor with fiduciary responsibility would have to seek the best way to liquidate a valuable collection.

Which is why your financial adviser or executor should have a contact you trust

I had to have the awkward conversation with my fiancé the other day about how if I ever went, she needs to consult with an expert before selling my cards. She knows the price of some of my more valuable cards, but I don't think I could persuade her that a beat up Venezuelan Topps card can actually be worth 10-20X that of its American counterpart.

Al, what if you are your own financial adviser?

Yes, but if the fool outlives the executor, who becomes the financial advisor...jeez, this fast becomes too confusing for the layman.

Would she rather you spend it on booze which literally is peed away while a collection can be re-sold and possibly for a profit? You have to use the investment angle.

Tell her with inflation in the year 2164 they will be worth hundreds of thousands. There's her investment. Now all she has to do is figure out how to live another 150 years and she has it made. That's on her, not on you. You started the treasure, let her figure out the long life part.
