Sotheby's is auctioning 300 pieces of memorabilia from Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward later this year. NY Times article says Sotheby's estimates "an embroidered suit worn by Newman at a 1971 Ontario Motor Speedway race could sell for up to $25,000." Then they say that the Rolex he owned sold in 2017 for a record $17.8 million. Three years later another of Newman's watches sold for more than $5.4 million. They also say that Steve McQueen's hero car from Bullitt brought $3.74 million.

It seems to that that fire suit seems a tad undervalued.
