My collection is not world class, it's '50s to '70s, and mostly midgrade (by which I mean Ex or EXMt overall) although I do have some cards that are really sharp. Complete baseball sets from 1957 and 1968-84, hockey sets from the 70s and 80s, football sets from the 70s. I assume that that stuff should probably go to an auction house - is there one right now that you all would recommend? Thanks.

I am empathetic to your concerns because of my own situation as an older collector with no relatives or friends to leave my collection to. There is scant information or advice available to people as to how to preplan their own demise. I know of one major auction house that at least attempts to aid collectors in that regard, but I have not actually researched it sufficiently to make a recommendation: https://www.ha.com/information/estate-planning.s
