He and Andy Warhol must have cornered the market (iin their different fields) on collectibles.

I see all this stuff and it doesn't make me feel bad when I trip over a few things at home. The way I see it, the world needs some hoarders to warehouse the past. Warehousing is expensive and time consuming, but just imagine how much is lost to wars, natural disaster, and the disposable society. The disposable society is not just a thing of the present.
Did anyone happen to catch what the Rochester's sold for?
