exit strategy?

[jp1216]

I will always keep scans/website pictures of my cards. Past and Present.
I don't keep all of them - just special ones. It's fun to see what was once in my box of goodies. I've thought about (but not planning) an exit strategy. My unofficial plan would be to sell most everything and consider picking up one 'very special' piece to pass down to my son. Something that would be easy for him to sell or keep. Rather than passing down 100s of slabs and binders.
My dad recently gave me his coin collection. Talk about being overwhelmed! No inventory, no price guides - nothing. I don't know anything about coins. I realized I could never do this to someone. My collection is now all copied on computer files and spreadsheets - along with some hobby friend's contact information.
Of course, financial situations arise. My plan for that would be to make it clean and quick. No regrets, just realizing personal priorities. Keeping a couple personal favorites and unloading the rest. How quick is quick? I'd say 6 months.

I am going to spend some time and put together my experience in selling my friend's collection. He died of lymphoma early this year. I have done decently with it and my experience has given me a lot of insights, I think. I sent an email to SCD about possibly doing an article (despite my frequently illogical posts, I have a fair amount of experience in it) but they did not seem to have any interest.

It has also made me consider "thinning the herd" considerably, but it has not gotten past the considering point.

A project I needed to take care of so my mother-in-law could move back in.

So my MO is to contact Leon and a former co-worker at Beckett,,, and let them take care of things for me ---- and tell them to pay me when they are finished.
