My wife knows cards fairly well. Enough to know what's junk and what's good. It's one of the side effects of discussing purchases over a certain amount. (Same for the stamps and the bicycles and random other stuff. )
And the kids are being taught, but slowly.
Hopefully I last long enough for them to be stable in their lives and for them to know what stuff they'd want to hang on to. (Like 20+ years from now, but you never know....)
Helping a friend go through their brothers stuff and connecting them with an auctioneer that was specialized instead of a general antiques dealer also helped me work to get things better organized. Not there yet, but it's a bit better.
Some of the better cards I've gotten graded to make things a bit simpler for them.
