That is actually one of the main reasons for writing it.
I am ok if my boys sell some of my cards, but there are some that I do not want them to and want them to pass them down to their kids and grandkids.

Now they will KNOW which ones and have the story behind them and know why. For example, my 56' Mantle I received on my 13th birthday in 1987 that dad got through the mail from Kit Young for $35 (most we had ever paid for a card at the time). I gave the card back to dad one Father's day about 15 years later then got it back when he passed. I was actually able to talk to Kit and tell him the story. That kind of thing is what I wanted them to know.

Makes me think what will happen to my cards when i grow old and ultimately pass. I could sell them in my golden years - nah, I could have my family ship them of to REA after I pass - nah. What would make me the most happy is to have my son treasure them and actually keep them himself after I pass, maybe even continue to build on the collection.
