What would you do with your collection if 2018 was your last year?
What would you do with your card collection if you knew that 2018 was going to be your last year on Earth? Would you sell it? Make other arrangements?

I would sell off some of my nicer cards for money for my family after I'm gone. I'd give away most of my post war cards to my collector friends to help with their sets. I'm sure they could use some Mantles, Mays, Clementes, etc. I don't know if I would actually have any buried with me so that part of my choice is not certain. But I believe in helping other collectors if I can, so the majority of my volume of cards would be spread around.
Nice (and morbid) thread! AndyH

Sell it all sans a couple childhood cards and my first CJ which would be left for my children as keepsakes.
he majority of the cash would go into the kids college fund and the rest would be spent on my family and I doing some fun things like a couple big trips and a new family vehicle. Some great blow sounds fun as hell though...

I would sell so my wife wouldn't have to deal with it. I'm sure we would spend some money traveling, but I'd leave most to her and let her decide what to do with it. As my passing would be rather unexpected she would have enough other things to worry about.

I'm surprised more folks wouldn't pass on some of their cards to hobby friends/collectors.

I selected the cash to my estate. Family before anything. Even though I would take my wife on a trip or two.
