Wife complaining about Card Collecting
#27

RE: Wife complaining about Card Collecting
I have told my wife that when I die, to take the cards to one of several dealers I trust (I have a list for her), and have them sell on consignment. That way they have a vested interest in getting the most money possible. I recommend all of you do the same if you don't have any other plans. I used to live in an area with a lot of older collectors, and I saw what happens when plans aren't in place. It really kicks you in the butt when you see an estate sale where a box of 1952 Topps cards has a price of just a few bucks, or when you see a widow walk into a card shop and get paid a few hundred dollars for cards that are worth 10s of thousands.
Collecting John Stockton, Karl Malone, Ivan Rodriguez, Gary Carter & UF player rookie year cards.  Plus Jedd Gyorko rookie and prospect cards.
