What to do with your collection when your gone?

[goswannies]

My brother asked me what was going to become of my collection when I'm no longer around to expand it (he was less polite and simply said dead).

Got me thinking. No kids so can't give them off there. Probably give my Star Wars & LotR ones to a fellow collector. Donate the football ones (over 1000 signatures of over 460 players from one club) back to the club... surely that could be of some use, somehow?

The rest I'm not sure about. Hopefully it's a way off yet and the collection will be an even bigger problem for someone else to deal with by then.

Has anyone else given this potentially morbid topic any consideration?
