Cash Brings in the Cash

An auction held earlier this week featuring Johnny Cash memorabilia brought in the big bucks.

An embroidered blue jumpsuit, worn by Cash at a rehearsal for the 1969 San Quentin concert, brought in $50,000 from an unnamed Belgian collector. The suit, featured in the famous photograph of Cash giving the one-finger salute to the camera, was expected to sell for $5,000.

The auction, open to an international group of fans, collectors and investors raked in more than $700,000. Other high-ticket items included a Martin guitar, which brought in $50,000; a Nudie shirt worn by Cash when he served as grand marshal of the American Bicentennial Grand Parade in 1976 sold for $31,250; and a 1968 passport earned $21,875.
