Letting a museum display it would be great. Letting the HOF display it would be amazing. Donating it to a museum would be horrible IMHO.

I agree with you regarding the HOF Museum. In post #164 here, I suggested to Ryan that this would be best. And of course, only LENDING them the cards for display. The HOF Museum is constantly modifying many of their exhibits. So, Ryan's T206 set may on display for several years, then replaced with another display. Virtually, every year since 1985 I have set-up at the Cooperstown BB card Show during HOF weekend. I was always impressed with the crowd that gathered to see the various BB card exhibits in the Museum. Quote:

To be clear, I would lend, not donate. I plan on retaining ownership of the set and letting my kids deal with it after I am gone. But I would be fine if they sat (on loan) in a museum for many years; the set deserves to be seen, not stowed away, plus I have nowhere to keep it.

At the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., the acquisitions policy is slightly less stringent. It accepts certain items on loan if a particular exhibit is short on alternative artifacts. “The lifeblood of any museum is its collections,” said Jeff Idelson, the president of the Hall. “Our policy is that artifacts that we acquire are donated. We have some items that are on loan, and the only time we have an interest in accepting a loan item is when we can’t tell a story because we don’t have anything to tell the story.” A prominent example is the glove Willie Mays used to make his famous back-to-the-plate catch in the 1954 World Series. It has been on loan to Cooperstown since 1992. But the cap Bobby Thomson wore when his 1951 playoff home run clinched the National League pennant for the New York Giants, which had been in the museum’s care for more than 27 years, was returned to its owner. In May, it was auctioned for more than $173,000. Though much of its permanent collection is not on exhibit, the baseball Hall pledges to care for those items it accepts in perpetuity. Other museums sometimes sell objects from their collections and reinvest the proceeds in new acquisitions, as industry ethicists recommend, or to pay operating expenses. Brian
