What do you want to happen to your collection when you die?
Not to be morbid or anything, but I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this topic. Have you made specific plans for your collection if you were to pass away? Will your family sell it off? Keep some?
Personally, I would want my collection donated to the University of Florida. I think they could put together a pretty cool display using my stuff. Or maybe they could auction it off to raise money for the program.
What about you guys?

Re: What do you want to happen to your collection when you die?
Great question!
My wife and I have not updated our wills recently. I have a boy with diabetes and we take part in foundation efforts and give him the world as we know it. So, I would consider another foundation, or, the children of my favorite player, Jim Eisenreich.
His Tourette's Foundation maybe could benefit from what I have or maybe his kids would like to have so many mementoes of their dad's career. I guess I don't even need to die to pass it along to them. Did I say great question? I meant HARD question.

Plus I have a larger collection of other players, and a lot of MiLB gw jerseys. I'm pretty sure my family would find all this a burden so I guess it needs to be spelled out in the will. Stimulating question!

My collection is in my will and will go to a private auction house with all proceeds being given to Autism Awareness and Research.

Re: What do you want to happen to your collection when you die?
I've taken blurry photos and written bogus LOAs on all my stuff.
Told the wife to say she found it all in her grandfather's attic...in the eBay description.
Cash only. No returns.
