It wouldn't bother nor surprise me, if my lovely wife just pulls a "Left Eye"...

still sick but do not seem to be getting worse. My good friend, spiritual mentor, fellow autograph collector (in person fall league and string training) as well as being a Reds scout for Asia and Africa (lived most of the year in Israel) passed from covid 2 days ago. Pretty broken over it
As far as my collection I've noticed when I come close to completing a set or project or get as far as I can without spending tens of thousands of dollars instead of being happy, I start a new project. Im going to put a moratorium on new projects and also sell some things I kept even though they were outside of my parameters. That is a pretty painless start

Speaking as a coin dealer, I can tell you 1st hand that your families don't want your collections after you pass. There is alot of grieving to go through 1st. Then comes the financial end of the deal. Liquidating a collection is nothing but a hassle for them. You would be better off selling now than taking a chance of you passing and your family getting pennies on the dollar from someone who wants to take advantage.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
The collection is an issue. I'm 77 and recently have had some medical issues. My collection is Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947-1957. I have started to sell off slowly (if I go faster my wife thinks I'm a goner). My first impulse was to start the sell off with items that are not displayed. I have met some collectors and know much of what I sold is going to a good home. I'm actually having a good time doing this. If there is anything left I will give my wife instructions to contact an auction house to complete the transactions. I also have a good friend who will help but is not located in the state I currently live.
