What should you do with that old shell collection?
If you’ve been asking yourself this question, then The San Diego Shell Club
would like to help.
In order for us to assist you and provide the best possible options we will need to know:
~ what you would like to do with your collection (e.g., donate them or sell them);
~ where the shells are located (e.g., city and state);
~ how many shells you anticipate are in your collection;
~ whether the shells have collection data slips (e.g., this can be a small piece of paper connected with or placed in the shell that lists the name of the shell, where and when the shell was collected, and by whom); and
~ what are the condition of the shells (i.e., if you could provide images of some of the shells it would be helpful)
If you decide that you would like to sell your collection, the San Diego Shell Club can provide an auction venue. However, your collection will have to meet certain criteria. Our experienced team of conchologists will review your collection to determine if it meets the necessary criteria of volume, quality, and value. If favorable, our team will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors to move forward with a Legacy Auction. Additional details of how a Legacy Auction is conducted will be discussed with you following that determination.
We are committed to finding the best home for your collection whether that be as a learning tool for future generations or as additions to some of the most spectacular shell collections of San Diego Shell Club members worldwide.
