What am I supposed to do, sell everything and then wait to die? Good point. I’m so flip-floppy on my feelings about this you’d think I was a politician.

There was a guy who collected comic art. He lived in San Francisco and specialized in "underground" artists. He amassed a huge collection that ended up being very very valuable. Lots of people were encouraging him to sell and strike why the iron was hot. He replied "what am I going to do? Sell them and go to Bermuda?. And then when I come home I have NO ART!?!"

oakman29 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I actually have a plan in place. My wife is to call some board members that I have listed in my trust, and the boys get what they want .my TMNT , and my Batman collection will be my boys. The rest will be sold off with help from those board members. Hollywood1892, The Lions Den, comicdonna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is a "nice book"? You do not want any "well loved books" only high grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supa-Bad-Mofo Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 No kids, no wife and my family could care less. I think I'll sell the majority, save for a few keys that I love. Then, I'll write it into my will that the first person to find me dead...the neighbor, the mailman, a first responder, whoever....get what's left!
