You have acquired a more than modest collection, and enjoyed the passion of learning and collecting for a great part of your life. What do you foresee or wish to happen with it?
My chip collection is quite small in comparison to others here and has no huge financial value, my currency collection is fairly extensive and more than a modest collection with a substantial monetary value. Both have been a great joy and past time to me but my family does not share the love I have for the hobby. My daughter does have interest in the currency but lacks the years of knowledge that I have gained.
I often joke that after I am dead my collections will be boxed up and sold by the pound at a garage sale for pennies on the dollar. Frankly, once I’m dead, who cares? I never entered into collecting to be a dealer or to profit from it, it was simple a pleasure to ME. I have bought and sold and dealt some degree but only to promote my own collection.
I would hope that my daughter would pick up my love for collecting but that is a personal choice for her. Maybe she likes it maybe not. If she or others in my family are not particularly interested in carrying it forward, I would hope the collection would stay intact and go to someone who is passionate about it. That to me is more important than the monetary value, because the years of collecting would not seem to be in vein. But as I said before, I’m dead, who cares?
What do you expect to happen with your collection(s) and what to you hope for? Does your collection have the value to your family as it does to you (not monetary, but joy and pleasure)?
