That's... rather disturbingly impressive.

I'm guessing he had a backlog of stuff they've finally managed to steal the rights to.

nope he was working on the album at the time he died, John Carter Cash and Rosanne Cash had a little sibling squabble that held the release up for a while.

Ah. Money grubbing pricks. Almost as bad as Ted William's corpse.

not exactly, Rosanne was more concerned about her father's legacy, and didn't want the albulm completed since he wasn't there to finish it. The two of them chose to auction the majority of the estate to charity.

Alright, so I'm entirely wrong about everything. That's generally how this works. I still stand by Ted William's son being a prick, though.

true

no, since his death in 2003, his family has sued a republican canidate for using his music without permission (donated the funds to the children's hospital in germany), and mostly argued about the movie project, how they wished for their father/stepfather to be presented, and worked on auctions/estate consolidation and giving the majority of the estate to SOS Children's Hospital in Germany.

Wow, this really confused me for a moment. I thought the thread was going to be about some new dollar bill design.

Did they auction off the estate in Jamaica as well?

I don't know a lot of stuff is being auctioned online right now with the whole proceeds going to charity.

Found an article for those interested. They've raised $1.2 million so far.

Johnny Cash auction raises $1.2m
Cash's custom-made abalone-inlaid acoustic guitar
Cash's acoustic guitar sold for more than six times its estimated price
Items belonging to the late Johnny Cash fetched $1.24m (£692,000) on the first day at auction in New York on Tuesday.

Collectors paid up to 15 times the expected prices for the late country music star's possessions.

A custom-made abalone-inlaid acoustic guitar - expected to reach $20,000 (£11,650) - sold for $131,200 (£73,200).

Sotheby's had estimated the three-day sale would raise about $1.5m, but the final total is likely to exceed that. Cash died in September 2003.

The auction's 769 lots trace the five decades of his career and his life with June Carter Cash, who died last May.

Sharon Graves, of Nebraska, who bought the guitar, already had an extensive collection of Cash memorabilia thanks to her late husband Terry, a lifelong fan.

She said: "It'll be the centrepiece of the collection. I bought it in Terry's memory."

The guitar was made in the 1960s by Billy Grammer and labelled "Custom Made For Johnny Cash".

Other items to fetch more than the expected prices were a photo of Elvis Presley inscribed "June, I love you", which sold for $18,000 (£10,000) and pair of silver Tiffany centrepieces which made £42,000 (£23,300).

Items from Folsom Prison including a striped prisoner's jacket, presented to Cash by a warden after he performed there, sold for $6,000 (£3,350).

Recognisable

Leila Dunbar, head of Sotheby's collectables department, said: "We always expected this auction to be a success, simply because of the stature Johnny and June have attained.

"Here you have the most recognisable union in country music."

Still up for sale at the auction, which ends on Thursday, are several of Cash's trademark black jackets, a 1987 Rolls Royce and the grand piano featured in Cash's last video, Hurt.

The sale's proceeds will go to the Cash estate.
