I would sell off some of my nicer cards for money for my family after I'm gone. I'd give away most of my post war cards to my collector friends to help with their sets. I'm sure they could use some Mantles, Mays, Clementes, etc. I don't know if I would actually have any buried with me so that part of my choice is not certain. But I believe in helping other collectors if I can, so the majority of my volume of cards would be spread around.
Nice (and morbid) thread! AndyH

Sell it all sans a couple childhood cards and my first CJ which would be left for my children as keepsakes.
he majority of the cash would go into the kids college fund and the rest would be spent on my family and I doing some fun things like a couple big trips and a new family vehicle. Some great blow sounds fun as hell though...

I would sell so my wife wouldn't have to deal with it. I'm sure we would spend some money traveling, but I'd leave most to her and let her decide what to do with it. As my passing would be rather unexpected she would have enough other things to worry about.

Sell them all minus a few that I have after life plans for. Then my son and I are going to have the best year we can after his college needs are all taken care of. Happy New Year!

I'm surprised more folks wouldn't pass on some of their cards to hobby friends/collectors.

Cheery stuff to ponder indeed. I may start a follow up "what would you do with your collection if you contract a terrible disease in 2018 that leaves you in 24 hour excruciating pain and are required to have all 4 limbs amputated"?

I understand. I think I said originally that I would sell off my more expensive cards and then send out the lesser stuff to hobby friends. The Mantles and such that I mentioned are low grade cards and wouldn't net much in an auction anyway, so those would go out to friends too. But I agree that helping family with the bigger items makes sense for sure. Thanks, AndyH
