@Don McErlean posted:Richard Pardo...I agree, my nightmare is that the collection goes in the trash w/o anyone even being aware that it could have significant value. As I said above, I am going to try Excel at first to get started and see how hard it is to do. My experience with Excel is that one you have the columns set up, it can be fairly easy. The nice thing about it is that you can put in the collectors value (for example) in dollars and then it can sum that column for you to give you totals. That at least might give my survivors an idea of the value.

Don, that is what I did with Excel. It isn't very fancy, but it gives the value I paid for everything. My wife has a general idea of value, but certainly not specifics. It would definitely help her or my daughters!
