Auto Collection advice

Please correct me if wrong, the timing issue may come into play if you capital losses ( stock losses) . You can use the loss to offset the gain .

Nice problem to have

This is correct. Any current year losses or prior year loss carry forwards of capital sales can be used to offset the gains from the sales of collectibles.

So if you have any stocks that you just keep waiting to rebound as they plummit farther and farther towards penny territory...you now have a reason to sell!!

I was never one to keep receipts over the past 16 years so i assume you can give a decent estimate?

Just sell them slowly for good old cash! If someone wants to spend huge dollars on your stuff, arrange to meet privately and do the exchange!

Find a rich private cash buyer.

I think I will start with getting rid of the rest of my duplicates (have a few signed cards and exhibits left that are duplicates). Also if I have a HOFer on more than one signed item that isn't a card will sell it. Like have a Mordecai Brown on both a check and a cut, or two different Comiskeys, Dreyfuss etc. If any of you see any on my flickr account mentioned at the beginning of this thread that you are willing to pay market value for let me know and maybe we can work something out. They would be in the autographs, cuts, contracts etc album on flickr. Also if I have both a card and a cut or album page I may be willing to sell the non card- like the Willie Foster signed bible cover page, etc. Busy till early May but can inquire before then
