Didn't we already kill this horse a few weeks ago? We had a very long
thread and branches about the subject and related topics.
But, specific to Paul Allen, it obviously was not a priority of his to plan
for the LCM after his passing, compared to other things that he did plan.
We also talked about sticking it to the survivors. I think we concluded
it's best to sell or give away the collection before you're too old to do
so.

Collectors always assert that their collection has value, and the next of
kin never believe a word of that.
My own sister actually claims that her very old French Horns are valuable!
Another relative tries to claim that "Blue willow" dishes have some value.
Although, perhaps you could search out the highest prices ever bid on
eBay, and tape clippings of those to each item.
