What a wonderful thing to do. I hope all his artifacts have provenance and have value to the museum. Otherwise I would say it would his “jumble sale” and a big tax write off for him.
One should consider him a liberal who didn’t like Reagan nor Thatcher. (borrowing words here from a post back in Oct 2010 on FR). you can look it up for yourself if you are so inclined.
Seems he made a prior drop-off approx 4 yrs. ago.
not my type of people.
Whatever his politics, I don’t think they play in here.
Regarding write-offs, I don’t think he needs the money.
I see this as a fulfillment of his passion. He has enjoyed these for many years, and now wishes to send them home for all those who share is interest to enjoy.
Bless you Mr. Collins... from a Texan with deep roots in our history.
Hate his politics -- love and appreciate his gesture to the citizens of Texas.

Perhaps he enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, and now he gets associated with the artifacts and the Alamo for all time.
