[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5046559, member: 12599"] Keep the ones you want, and as for the others, I’d consider going to an artifact show and selling them. Covid has things shut down in a lot of places, and shows haven’t been spared either. If you can find a collector in your area who is knowledgeable, he or she might be able to help you sort through them to see what you should take to shows. A lot of collectors have taken to selling their “brokes” for a few dollars apiece, as they have some value as study pieces. “Grey Ghosts”, which were large modern made pieces usually made from Texas chert, made their way into a lot of collections years ago. One man made most of them and they are pretty easy to spot for a trained eye. Above all, get your collection appraised by someone you trust beforehand. Museums have dusty catacombs full of nice collections that will never see the light of day, and disappear. I’d give them to a stranger before I’d send them off to a museum. JMO. [/QUOTE]
