The Cash collection, up for bid at Sotheby's
From the USA Today
ohnny Cash is gone, but you can still walk the line with him. That is, if you have the $1,000 or more it'll take to buy the man's black patent-leather ankle boots.
"Johnny was often quoted as saying that June had a black belt in shopping," says Leila Dunbar, Sotheby's director of collectibles. "The stuff we have has perhaps the greatest breadth of any performers we've worked with."
In fact, the Cashes approached the auction house in 2000, but June Carter Cash changed her mind about parting with their things. After she died in May 2003, Cash resumed the discussions, but he died four months later.
The Cashes matter to fans because "they felt at home in any culture and on any stage," says Jay Orr of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. "They brought a spiritual conviction to their music, encouraging others and standing for the things they believed in."
