Check through the email address, it's possible, but again, it's a collection being sold asa collection and won't be pieced out I'm afraid.

"Plan B" (if you get no acceptable offers) might be to donate the collection to a local library and take the deduction. That way you will still have quick access to your collection.

Not sure what net gain that would garner.
Usually the amount comes off the gross earnings.
So for example a person earned $60K. The tax receipt is for $10K they would then pay tax on $50K.
If the tax rate was 25%, a person would net $2500 for the gifting.
Pulled this off the tax ruling.

So 29% of $10K =$2900 @25%tax rate= net $725.00

It gets watered down real quick.

Whatever net tax benefit he might receive is better than nothing if the collection doesn't sell.

Randy, I think you knew Jim Fariello in Colorado. I met him once at a treasure show, he died in 2020. Do you know what became of his massive treasure library?

Lasst I knew his sons acquired his collection and wanted to keep it. I never saw what he had, but if some of the freebies he sent me are any indication, he likely had something pretty substantial. I can't speak to contents or quantity though. He was a great guy, his passing was a huge loss for the community.
