since my wife passed, Ive been having to go through everything and start packing. Im debating whether or not to sell her wrestling fig collection. Its hard to look at everything of hers, and I wasnt the Hasbro collector in the house.
Im wondering if I should put her collection up for sale, got rent and bills to pay, and I know her collection would be in good hands.
Of course this is still up in the air as Im trying to get things settled. Anyone out there looking to grow your Hasbro collection or start one, I also have a few WCW Galoobs and some Jakks figs, as well as some other random non-wrestling figs still boxed

I know this is silly to an extent..but I don't think you should sell anything of hers that makes you happy (or that you think might make you happy in the future). My brother died in 2009 and we were very close.. But his girlfriend got everything when he died and she died a few months later herself. Now I don't really have anything of his personal belongings, except what I kept when I was a child..which happens to be the WWF Hockey toys from the early 90s and a few other select items.
You were married and I'm sure you have more things you shared than what I had with my brother. Some things naturally will have to be let go, but anything that makes you happy or reminds you of her should be cherished, like the memories you have. Also, keeping some items around definitely helps spark old memories that you will later forget.
That's just my two cents..I'm really sorry for your loss and I can't even imagine what you must be feeling..

Hang in there, man.
Maybe put some of her stuff away, out of sight, for awhile. After some time, open up some of the stuff you packed and decide if you want to let it go. I would hate for you to sell something you would regret later.

Sorry for your loss my friend. But I agree with the posts above just put it away and mourn her. Then make a decision with a clearer mind. God Bless

I would hate for you to sell something you would regret later. I agree with this. Also, another idea is to sell most of the collection but keep her favorite ones or ones that might have a story behind them. |

I agree with the others but I also know firsthand that sometimes you have to sell things that you'd rather not part with to make ends meet because I've had to do that. Not to the extent that you have to, but I've had to sell some prized possessions in the past to pay the bills. I assume you're probably keeping the things that meant something to her and also mean something to you, but also try not to think about it too hard because if you're anything like me all you'll do is stress out even more, and that won't help anything.

Took the words out of my mouth Elvis and I have to agree with everyone else and try and not to rush into it.
