My girlfriend has often asked me what I intend to do with my collection when I pass on. I have no idea and was wondering if anyone else has thought about this?
Sorry for the morbid topic but it's something I can't wrap my brain around.

Buried with them like a giant egyptian mausoleum, so that I can take them to the afterlife with me. :p
And so that the vultures don't go picking over my 'corpse' of a collection. ;)
Seriously though, I have left instructions with relatives and friends as to what happens to collection, so maybe have detailed instructions in your will as you would for any of your other assets... as in who they go to, or how they are sold so that your family gets an asset they can better use (money).
There's that or have them passed down to many generations (Family Heirloom)Quote:

I've never given it a lot of thought, but once I'm gone I probably won't care so much. I imagine my wife would give my collector friends a chance to look through, maybe the kids/grandkids, depending how long I hang around for and then sell a lot.
Assuming I'm here for another 50 years or so, the whole collection will be museum material by then.
My collection is going to my two children. They can do with them as they wish.
This is very much the idea that I had always considered, but then...Quote:

I would do that. I can even think of a good location on where I will set up my tomb in order to keep away grave robbers. Hopefully some evolved Ape archaeologist will find it in the future and put me and my collection in a Museum for everyone to see and enjoy. Everything would be vacuum sealed of course, otherwise the plastic would not last.Quote:
