    I always wondered how Graham stayed in business, and there is the answer.

    Such an insane talent - the world absolutely misses him. The art is nicer than the watches, but he clearly liked nice things and the Mrs Doubtfire residuals were still coming to the mailbox.

    An absolute shooting star, undoubtedly talented above most others and shone so bright in the limelight, unfortunately when it was time to go home there was no audience or light to shine. He is not alone and won't be the last unfortunately and a timely reminder for one of the most liked threads on OF

    Looking through all of his stuff, and it doesn’t look like any of his family is keeping mementos, I was both deeply saddened and fascinated. It’s worth a perusal.

    To me, the watches are mostly a disappointment, nearly all ‘modern’ stuff. But some of the visual art he collected is spectacular. And only two not very special expensive fountain pens.

    +1 .... I found it sad that things like the golden globe for Good Morning Vietnam are among the lots.

    Agreed, there are some nice watches and some not so nice, but there is also some great art, from fairly contemporary artists too which is interesting. Good to see some of the proceeds going to charities as well.

    That is a very, very comprehensive list of "stuff". Sad to see so many personal mementos go.

    His performance was a riot. The world got a little darker after he died.

    They might have kept some things back and not told us. Or they might find any reminder of what happened just too painful.

    I wish we still had Robin Williams.

    The only thing I would like to own is the outstanding Marx Brothers poster.

    What I like is that some of the watches include the warantee card made out to his name.
