Advice needed for my collection

[Jens Nordlunde]

David, I dont find you question morbid at all, as I find it is a question most collectors should ask themselves if they care about their collection - and why should they not care is they collect.
The question, however, must be answered by someone with knowledge to the US law - so although your question is very valid, I cant help you. BUt I do hope that others with more knowledge will help you.
