[cctalk] Re: LCM auction pre-notice

I wonder why Paul didn't set it up to try and find a group willing to keep LCM or the whole collection under a new museum first. Then have a provision that it must be a non profit, and if it doesn't work, proceed to auction for charity.  BradSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Wayne S via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Date: 2024-07-14 5:59 p.m. (GMT-08:00) To: Wayne S <wayne.sudol(a)hotmail.com> Cc: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org>rg>, Wayne S <Wayne.Sudol(a)hotmail.com> Subject: [cctalk] Re: LCM auction pre-notice The estate should just have given the collection or parts of it directly to the charities if the charities were equipped to dispose of it.Sent from my iPhone> On Jul 14, 2024, at 17:56, Wayne S <wayne.sudol(a)hotmail.com> wrote:> > Yes, but you still have to do the paperwork.

Most of us collectors will die and our collection wont be of interest to the IRS because it won’t amount to much. Pauls collection, on the other hand, will be of interest simply because he called out what to do with it when he dies (sell and proceeds to charity) and he’s a billionaire so they look very closely at estate where there could be significant tax revenue.>> >> There is probably no tax revenue if it all really goes to charity.>> >> bill>>
