So you have spent most of your life building your comic book collection, fast forward to your death...what will happen to your collection? Will your family care about them, will they sell them, give them to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, throw them out into the trash, burn them to keep warm in the winter??
PS: Yes, you will die, eternal life is not an option.

Good question. My dad just went into an assisted living facility. I've been cleaning out his house and it makes me realize that all the crap we accumulate means nothing.
I've recently sold off some of my comics. In a few years I plan to sell off the issues I like most.

My youngest daughter gets my collection. She has my love of comic books. She can do whatever she wants with them.

I'd like to believe that I can either turn my kids on to reading them or their kids. If not, I would happily donate them to some comic preservation society or the like.

My kids don't care for comics. It may be my collection will end up on you people's hands!!! I've already mentioned it to my wife.

As for the question, the following two options:
1) To my future children, split evenly and fairly 2) If children no interested, then I will sell them to people who are and give my children the money

My wife can do whatever she wants with them (sell, donate, burn, keep, give them away). I will suggest offering whatever the Cartoon Library at Ohio State will take if she donates them (especially the original art, sketches, etc.).
Unless I can convince someone to build me an Egyptian style pyramid as a burial marker/chamber and mummify me. Then they will go with me to read as I travel the celestial Nile in a boat for eternity.

Next year I will be selling over 1,000 single comic books and once that done; I should have a balance of 200-300 books left and those books will be handled by a dear friend of mine that's will be the custodian of my collection and I have it in my own will. ALL my DC Comics and Marvel Comics toys will be given to my niece's husband who have an interest in my small collection and would love to have it and has expressed desire for it. It's in my will too. So, one handling my Comics Books and another handling the rest - Action Figures, Toys, and What Not. I have already taken care of that and my family doesn't have to do a thing about it. I will have all my Comic Books in one place and that will be given to my dear friend and the rest of them to my niece's husband and it's done deal.

PS: Yes, you will die, eternal life is not an option. I may die, but we're talking about comic books. If Superman, Jason Todd, Barry Allen, Jean Grey, Hal Jordan, Oliver Queen, etc. can come back from the dead, you better believe that I'm going to do it too. Therefore all my comics will be placed in a sealed container and placed in the Bat-Cave. Ace the Bat-Hound will guard them until I am resurrected to reclaim them. |

My boys will want some of them. But I'm sure not all. I'm not gonna care...because I'll be dead. Exactly the same for me. I'd be happy if either of my sons or even nieces or nephews developed a love for this stuff, but right now they don't. They're still young and and kind be like it but aren't "into it" really. Everything goes to my boys and they and my wife can do whatever they want with it. I've just asked all the kids (and whoever might want), to take at least one piece as a momento. As said, I won't care what happens with it, but have started notating known and potentially valuable pieces so whomever can get the most possible if sold. I just enjoy the thought that whether any if my lived ones grow to love or even hate comics (or batman especially), they'll never be able to see it without thinking of me : ) |
