Your aunt could have sold it herself, or could have given to to someone else. A collector's item is a work of art, a labor of love, an investment. If you sell it, soon the money is gone. If you keep it - you keep a memory -- it is priceless. If you are not interested nor you are too busy with work or whatsoever - you may hand it over to someone in the family (sibling/nephew/niece) who has the passion for stamps.
