The rare auction includes several pieces tied directly to Perry’s time on “Friends,” including scripts from both the pilot episode in 1994 and the show’s final episode in 2004. The front pages were signed by co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer.

Among the standout items is Perry’s cherished Memorigin watch featuring a Batman emblem. The collection also contains childhood keepsakes, jewellery, guitars, clothing and his personal VHS and DVD sets of “Friends.”

Roberta Kramer of Heritage Auctions, which is managing the sale, described the collection as deeply personal.

“It’s a combination of all kinds of things from the actor’s lifetime,” she said.

Banksy Paintings Expected To Draw Major Interest

Two artworks by Banksy are also expected to attract strong bids during the auction. One of them, “Girl with Balloon,” is estimated to fetch around USD 800,000, while another piece titled “Nola (Grey Rain)” carries an estimated value of more than USD 40,000.

Auction organisers believe the overall sale could generate close to USD 1 million for the foundation.

Kramer said Perry had hoped to use his own experiences to help others facing addiction struggles.

“We know that he would be happy that all of his things went to help the mission of the foundation.”

Matthew Perry Death Case

Perry died on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54 after being found unresponsive in his jacuzzi. A coroner later ruled that the “17 Again” actor died from the “acute effects of ketamine,” while drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects were also listed as contributing factors.

The investigation into Perry’s death led to multiple criminal charges connected to ketamine distribution. Six people have since been convicted in relation to the case, including Jasveen Sangha, often referred to as the “Ketamine Queen,” who received a 15-year federal prison sentence for operating a drug trafficking business and supplying Perry’s fatal dose.

Other individuals sentenced include Perry’s live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, drug counsellor Erik Fleming, Dr Mark Chavez and Dr Salvador Plasencia.

The auction is scheduled to take place in Dallas and online on June 5, with proceeds going towards addiction recovery and awareness efforts through the Matthew Perry Foundation.
