The best way to sell would be to keep his whole collection intact and sell to a Vintage Racing photo specialist. It would bring the best price this way, and would be the least stressful on his Widow.

I do not know where this woman lives, if she's having trouble w/ keeping up the home or financial problems. My Mother lives in an over 55 apartment complex. It's subsidized by the government so she has a few dollars to spend. Maybe she could look into this? As far as the selling items we did auction for wife's gramma years ago. Got rid of almost everything.
