My wife and son would be clueless about my collection or what to do with it when I am gone. So I have started doing the following. • Documented avenues where they could be sold recommended options to sell and included links and account info for sites such as this • Created an Excel Spreadsheet and have shared it to a Microsoft OneDrive folder my wife has access to • Started by taking pictures and documenting the significant pieces Values/Back story • Just purchased a bunch of those small round stickers. I will attach those to my mugs and other minor things and assign them a catalog number • Catalog number can be cross checked with the spreadsheet for Values/Back story There is one drawback to this, my wife is going to know the actual value of all my “junk”
