I am currently approaching 70. I intend to gradually decrease the size of my collection during the coming years. The items left at my decease will be left to my heirs with instructions on how best to dispose of them. Several items in my collection are possibly too important to be sold to the highest bidder; these items pose a considerable problem that I am still thinking about.
