A bunch of people on facebook are ready to accuse Sam and Danielle of not loving or caring about Jerry, and some accusing Sam of being a golddigger practically. Anthony Lewis' wife Patty Ascher is one of the people posting about them not sharing the possessions with the other children, and how heartless Danielle and Sam are, blah blah blah, etc. If Anthony cared so much about his parent's possessions, he wouldn't have left all the possessions left from Patti, for his ex wife Sharon to sell them all on ebay.

i have to say i feel both ways. sure, it’s theirs to sell and danielle said she kept the most personal mementos for herself. but to me, personally, it does feel that a lot of those items have significant entertainment history attached and would’ve been better served donated to a collector who would archive them. and when i looked at juliensauction.com for the continued online auction, his oscar is the first item. but what do i know? i’m only a fan.......
yesterday i rewatched the ‘person to person’ episode where JL and dean show off the playhouse with all the M&L scrapbooks. all of that he kept as an archive of their partnership. now it’s all auctioned off, distributed to the winds. that feels like a loss to me.

That isn't an oscar, it's a keychain statuette by the way. I had to look closely, because everyone thought it was the real thing. His BAFTA nomination for The King of Comedy and Nobel Peace Prize nomination plaques and certificates, are up for auction though.
I think all of his scrapbooking was for himself, maybe that's why Jerry supposedly told them to sell the stuff after he was gone, since he wouldn't need it anymore. But I agree it does seem like a waste.

The family certainly left itself open to criticism. Selling things like his French medals, his Gold Record or his Nobel Peace Prize nomination in my eyes shows a lack of understanding and appreciation of aspects of his life that he was proud of. They could have given Dean's watch to Deana Martin and Sammy's watch to his daughter. Selling items like driver licenses, passports or gun permits leaves a bad impression as well.
