Me personally, I view my collection as 'art' more or less. I made a site to show the beauty of these cards and for it to be seen, and to show some of the great penmanship and personalities that 'show' with how that person signed.
I hope I can do enough in my career where I won't have to sell these off to help my family or having get them and not knowing what to do next, but when I pass I do plan on donating them to the Baseball Hall of Fame, or some other type of museum that would enjoy and appreciate these as much as I do and hopefully the public as well.
Curious to see what others viewed on this as well.

I plan on selling them and using that money to help my wife and I go on humanitarian service missions for our church. IMHO, no sense in going to the grave with them as you can't take them with you and you will have the opportunity to do something useful with the funds. I would never, ever donate them to a museum though. The Baseball Hall of Fame is full of well intended collections that are packed up and will never see the light of day. I would ONLY give them to my children if they developed an interest in baseball history. So far, they could care less.
