Will he have to pay taxes on it?

Taxes on the cards - nope.
Taxes on money he gets from selling the cards - you betcha.

I was wondering because I have complete sets unopened and possibly sell them someday. Actually, I have them in a living trust for someone(s) and will more than likely keep them there. I have complete sets of Topps 1964 through 2008, unopened and still in plastic wrap. Both of my son's want to sell them and give them the money.

I also have a complete set of 1954 Wilson Franks average mt9 as I received them (barter) from an owner of a tire company for computer work back in the day. They still are my customer and are still running OS2 Warp boxes for their retread machines. There is a nightmare looming with them as far as upgrade and training. I think I have the hardware upgrade dialed in with eComStation 2.0 but nervously awaiting the release of 2.2 for better hardware compatibility (contract service agreement) . If all goes according to plan it will be relatively painless (highly unlikely). I stand to lose my largest customer in all this as local MS supporters are all over this potential new business. The only thing I have going for me is in the fact they have never been down (outside of electricity) in almost 20 years. Original owner died, son died as well. Daughter is thinking change, as I have ripped her father off over the years with virtually no support ( she swears by HP). The problem is that the hardware and software works so little maintenance or fixes are needed.
