Seems like if they’re in your will to be passed down croaking with cards is a better tax situation for your heirs.
I don't follow your logic. $50K or cards or $50K of cash, how are they treated differently for tax purposes? If you sell the card ten years later for $60K, you have to declare the $10K profit. Same if you invest $50K in a fund and you sell those shares later for $60K, you have a profit of $10K

I guess it would be easier to sell the cards and not declare anything. Also a lot more work.
