I'm 51 years young, single, and have no children. Also, not super close to my nieces and nephews. I've promised my collection to a friend when I depart, but she's about my age so I really don't have a "next generation" heir in mind. The cards will probably just be sold by someone down the road, and find their way back into the hobby, whence they came. Of course, I still chase hot 25-35 year-olds around (and even catch one, once in awhile), so ya never know???

Be wary of those younger cardboard diggers

A good friend of mine is a Fed Atty and he says a good rule of thumb is half your age plus seven years, fwiw. I've already changed my last will and testament to read, "put all the sports junk in a box and tape it up and send it to Saco River, if they don't want it send it to Nest Egg Auctions"

Im 42, never married,no kids. A friend of mine Bill passed away 1 month after his 40 B-day. He had Alzheimers,ALS,and Parkensans[sp?], very,very rare condition,there is no name for it. He has a 11 year old son Ryan, that I have been keeping busy as best I can. I make sure to make his football practices and games, along with grandma and grandpa. We do bike rides and started fishing last summer. Its been very rewarding for me,and hopefully Ryan too. I have 5 nephews and 1 niece, and Ryan. Each one will get a part of my collection.
