Hello,
I am the successor trustee for a man who died in 12/2016. He was a stamp collector and has a very large collection that he wanted donated. First I need to have the collection appraised. The collection is in Berkeley. Can you give me some names or direction for appraisers?
See my article on this website, “Help! I Inherited A Collection” at http://www.virtualstampclub.com/inherit.html It should help you get started. At the end of the article is contact information for the American Philatelic Society. If the late collector was a member of the APS, it may even supply a volunteer to help you sort the collection and find an appraiser. (The volunteer is not an appraiser and is not permitted to buy it!) But as the article notes, there is a list of member dealers on the APS website, many of whom perform appraisals.
BTW, I am the trustee for my mother’s estate, so I’m going through many of the same issues that you are probably experiencing, although Mom was not a serious collector. (Elsewhere on this site is my article, “Whatever Happened To Mom’s Collection,” http://virtualstampclub.com/lloydblog/?p=3559 )
