My collection in my will

[Tomman1961]

So here's a can of worms. My children do not want my collection. I told my wife many times that upon my death sell it. I am 57 and my health is fine. Here's my can of worms question- what auction house? I say auction house because I would want it sold fast and easy. Maybe I am wrong with an auction? But I think that is the way to go.

What do you have?

See, I’ve had this conversation with others before, and who’s to say that the auction house that passes muster in 2018, will be the same one that will in 2048...

True! But this is why wills must be periodically amended. Pick the one you would choose now and then revisit it in a couple years.

Agreed! The problem is many set a will and leave it at that. It’s almost better to designate someone to guide family through the process of choosing an auction house or a bulk buyer.

That's what I did, I have one person named to guide my wife/family who also know them. Of course this may need to be amended as well, but its a start and what I feel comfortable with.

I have complete 1939-1941 Playballs. G-VG. About 50 HOF of T206 same grade. About 200 Goudey Baseball and Indians. Near complete Diamond Stars in Vg-EX. Near complete Sky Birds. Topps complete 1953, 1955, 1956, 1958, 1961, and 1972 through 1999. This post is also in other areas on this site.

Any of our advertisers would be good candidates.

I am fortunate. My son and I both collect. We purposely collect different sets, there no sense in him having duplicate stuff. LOL My son will get everything I have collected over the years.

That is great you have a son who enjoys collecting.
My daughter doesn't want us to move because she wants our house when we croak. She couldn't care less about my cards. Kids these days.....
