Estate Sale Find

A few years ago I went to an estate sale and picked up two fantastic paintings a bunch of paper and these brushes and paints. I am finally getting around to checking on them and putting the cracked tubes into pans. I am labeling the pans.

My long term goal is make a few sets that I can give out as gifts. I know that a few I should pull and sell to cover the cost of the pans and cases.

I can find that the daniel smith quinacrindone gold should be pulled. But what about the sennelier gold or the under sea green?

Are there any others that I should handle differently? Is it better to keep them in their tubes as long as the tubes aren’t broken? Or should I label and transfer most to pans?

The tubes that are really broken I am opening up and adding humidity to (distilled water) and am waiting.

Is there anything else I should be doing to care for them?

I know this is a huge collection. I just don’t want to do anything stupid with them.
