Advice needed for my collection

If you are lucky/unlucky enough to have some idea of a timeline (as my brother had) give some of the pieces to collector friends to remember you by. Sell the rest, and spend the money on making thoses last days better. My brother attended his own wake, was able to say farewell to his old friends, and I hope to do the same.
All too often, collectors die, and the family has no damn idea what to do with the stuff, and sell them for a pittance, or even throw them away!
