As the title says, I’m wondering how some of you who have valuable collections have prepared for the event of your untimely passing. How would your collection be handled if you were to die tomorrow?

My wish would be for my partner(s) to sell the cards they don’t need. We go to card shops often so I’m confident they know enough to figure out pricing on their own.

I have friends who would 100% guide my wife in liquidating.
Thankfully she has some idea of collecting and has listen to me blabber on about cards to know values of things haha.

I genuinely couldn’t care less because I am dead.

My plan is to add a little sticker to expensive cards in binders or cases as a guide of the ones worth effort.
But i’ll be dead so who cares? I just want them to get some cash i suppose

My Porygon collection is not so valuable so I don’t know, maybe will be kept as memory.
I have also a sealed collection shared with a trusted friend who knows exactly how to handle it.

I’ve said to my wife that she can freely sell my cards if something unexpected would happen to me, i’ve mentioned that i would like the idea that she kept my slime army but in the end dead man’s romanticized ideas don’t matter a lot. I’ve actually thought already some time about posting my whole collection here to have an online gallery of my cards but also to have a place where my wife could directly ask for details about what is valuable and what is not if that would be the case. I’m not getting any younger so might do that relatively soon

The family member that would get everything would probably be too distraught by my passing to deal with my collection for a long time. But when the time finally comes, this family member would reach out to one of my oldest friends. The family member would give the friend a percentage and then the friend would deal with the business of grading, regrading and selling through the appropriate channels.
They are both aware of the values involved, and of how the hahbee is a pit of opportunistic, scavenging snakes. So hopefully they won’t get screwed too bad and get decent value out of it.

My collection isn’t huge nor extremely valuable, but the main problem is that the majority of my graded cards are now stored in the Fanatics Vault.
My girlfriend is the only one who knows this, and she will be in charge of gaining access (and unfortunately auctioning what’s there).
I’d prefer if she could keep my binders at least for a while, maybe selling them if things are getting uncomfortably valuable. Not that I have much faith in her being up to date with the poke market

My mom would most likely never sell it, but instead add stuff to the collection when she has the chance to. I would advise her to sell it but more than likely she’ll wind up getting more into collecting than out of it.
She already organizes my cards and other things, so my collection will most likely be handled with care.

I’m not exactly planning on dying anytime soon. But as a just in case, I do have my collections in my will. As well as I’ve prepped info that should help them liquidate my junk. Although long long term I figure I’d sell out and move on before my passing is really on the table.

I try to keep a somewhat updated spreadsheet with my monthly spending. I know what my collection was worth at the time of purchase but have no idea what it is worth today. But as long as my loved ones get at least what I pad for, then I would be happy.
I didn’t make a will or anything, so the plan is super naive but here it is, I’d split the “side” of my collection (sealed, graded, stuff like that) to friends interested if applicable, the rest would go to family for selling. I’d like that the main part of it, the binders with all the sets, stays as one part as a kind of memento of what I liked.
There’s so many memories linked to every card in the binders that it’d break my heart to split them. I guess being dead the heart gets harder to split though

When I die I’m getting my cards cremated with me. Then I’m going to have them dump the remains it TPCi printing in the machines so that the ghost type pokemon cards can be more realistic

My health isn’t the best so I have been thinking about this… I hope to be here a lot longer but if something happens I already told my partner she can have my collectibles and shoes and how to sell them to auction houses.
