that is why you sell everything and split the money equally.

This is why I am glad I was an only child when my mother passed and I got her amazing collection of cards and autographs.

Sounds like the fight over my mother's remains. Only lawyers come out ahead on this game. Too bad for the family. And sadly there will be dealers who take advantage of the situation to turn a few bucks.

One word: Sad. We obviously don't know all of the family back story, but it's sad what money does to people.
Also, found it funny that Ray Durham was/is a family friend and the guy refers to his autograph as "worth, like $5." You'd think he'd have goosed up the estimate at least!Cheers,

I'm not naive but it's hard for me to understand how a son could do that. I guess greed takes over sometimes.

Re: Unfortunate Story of Sibling Rivalry over Father's Baseball Collection
My wife refuses to believe that my baseball collection is worth anything at all. So I told her this story hoping to demonstrate that she was wrong. "I don't want a family split over my stuff," I said.
She replied flatly, "Don't worry." And then she walked away.
