Give it away
Someone in the family is bound to know which item(s) in a collection are truly valuable and truly historic. A museum will want this information in order to add the donated items to its collection.

Depends on the hobby but taking stamp collections as an example the difference between a boring mint stamp and one with an obscure misprint is several orders of magnitude. A layman would be very unlikely to spot the difference or appreciate their collectability. To some extent scams selling people rare stamps, whisky and fine wines as investments rely on the inability of the general population to check or understand the "expert" valuations of such collections. eg http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/p...h-returns.html Same with high value books or rare antique furniture - to an untutored eye they look pretty much the same as any other old book or junk. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
