i have posted this before, but I would NOT give it to my kids. They could each take an item or two they would like to remember me by.
The glory of this hobby is not owing something like a T206 or a 1975 set for that matter but the joy you get from the hunt and the privilege of the people you meet along the way. I would have never met Ted Z, Leon, William Chappel, Dave at Baggers and many others without the process of acquiring cards. Assuming he gets interested in cards, why would I take that from him?
If life is kind, at some point, I will begin liquidating some of my cards...which I may invest in bigger cards... and hopefully be down to marketable clumps by the end.
Right now my business is busy so it's not priority. I hope not to get hit by a bus tomorrow, but honesty, if I do, my insurance is pretty good and should take care of the family quite nicely. They can use the cards as a distraction in that case.
