I know its been talked about 100 times but its still worth a reminder.
Ill try to keep it short. Just heard from a buddy of mine that a local collector down his way unexpectedly died at 51 years old and left a substantial collections behind. He hid from his wife how much he was spending and how much his collection was worth. She had no clue. The worst part is one of his "friends" tried to swoop in and fleece her about about 5 cents on the dollar. Luckily she was smart enough to go on line and do some research and long story short got a fair price for it all. So I guess I just want to say even to the guys on here that might hide some spending or info on your collections worth at least have some info tucked away on value or auction houses to trust in a safe or some friends you trust that can steer your better half in the right direction. None of us think our last day is around the corner but you never know.
