you need a 5th option:

Leave my collection to my family/children.

That's different than "Nothing, let the survivors figure it out."

They will have plenty of money left for them in the estate. I made the boys promise me that they wouldn't sell as the collection represents a labor of love. If they do sell, I will haunt them from the grave!

This is a question that as a dealer I have put off for a number of years. This year I turn 70 and the question is becoming more pressing.

I will likely sell all my inventory and not look back. I see no heirs interested in my stuff, and they would not get as good a return as I would when I sell. Having cleared my inventory 7 times and started up again I don't view this as a problem. I haven't sold completely out for three years, so depending on my inventory after Cleveland it should be interesting.

Nothing. If I am terminated this year my family wins a seven figure insurance lottery so they can dispose of the cards at will without pressure. I left them instructions as to who to call and how to do it.

It's moot. The nuclear blast will destroy everything and everyone I love.
