At this moment in time I will probably leave it to my parents along with my Excel sheet so they can cash it and use it for their own retirement funds.
Or… Leave it two my nephews, both 5 years old, which both are heavily into Pokémon but both my brothers can’t be arsed with it. After hearing my older brother telling he threw away his MtG (Vision-Mirage) last summer this might not be best option.
Future-wise; of course to my wife that I hopefuly one day have and/or our kids.
No one, I intend to be buried with it.
Idk really, if no one of my legitimate heirs or any other close friend is interested in continuing it i will probably let the notary to sell it and split the revenues according to the will.
I am 17, so most likely it won’t happen for a while, but I have thought about this a lot. Most of them will go to you peeps on E4. A few many to my family, but none of them really care about PKMN (and the value of my collection is relatively insignificant). I would really like to see the cards given to people who can really enjoy them and appreciate them.
This is the only thing of certainty.
Very good advice. Anyone with a high value collection should do this. There are people out there that would insure your family gets top dollar. All of the top guys here on efour come to mind and for those of you collecting MTG or sports,etc… I’m sure you have people you can rely on as well.
I’m only 30, but this makes me realise that’s the least I could do. My Pokemon collection is not even worth $10k, but I wouldn’t want my relatives to sell them to a local store for like $1,000. I know 100% they wouldn’t keep the cards.
I’m in my 30s now and my collection is over $20k, so I’ll have to figure this out soon. I just got out of a 13 college quest for my Ph.D., so havn’t really had the time to start a family. Most likely though I would sell everything off before I died and set up some sort of safe investment fund like a bond ladder for my children.
I’d have to observe my kids for a longer period of time to decide. Either or both of them, because they’re the only ones I trust. I wouldn’t want my cards being sold off carelessly. I wouldn’t want them sold off at all to be honest. I’m only 25, so I guess it’s safe to say that I don’t know yet. I do know that as long as I’m alive they’re all staying with me, safe & close to me. 
I’m currently 26, so I’ve never really thought about it. I would prefer it if my Pikachu collection would go to a museum or something, if there is such a thing for Pokémon TCG cards outside Japan. Everything else I dunno. I’m still 
single, and don’t have any kids, and I also don’t know anyone in person who is interested in Pokémon… So my family can sell it for all I care, I would be death anyway…

I plan to sell a bunch before I retire and keep a specific set of cards for myself. Maybe my most prized cards, but I don’t know. I know my gf knows the value to a certain extent, but she might push me to sell them for a down payment on a house in a few years. It wouldn’t be a bad idea, but I really want to keep most of my collection, especially since most of it has been manufactured through buying and selling and hasn’t cost me much in the end.
Long story short, if I die, I would leave some to the gf (to sell) and some of my most treasured items to my best mates since they would treasure it also.
If she pushes you to sell, then you guys got a problem imo
I mean, pushing to sell for a downpayment on a house shouldn’t be considered a bad thing.
That’s why my significant other doesn’t know exactly how much mine is worth… otherwise we would’ve have remodeled our bathroom already lolololol.
