The late actor passed away at the age of 54 following a ketamine overdose in October 2023; seen in 2012 in L.A.

On June 5, Heritage Auctions will be auctioning off an assortment of his belongings at its headquarters in Dallas, Texas and offered the Daily Mail a preview of the precious items.

Brian Chanes, Heritage Auctions' senior director, Hollywood & entertainment, revealed the special role the belongings played in Perry's life.

'The outpour of enthusiasm and support and adoration for Matt has been amazing,' Chanes told the Daily Mail.

The display contained the types of memorabilia a true Friends fan would treasure forever.

Originally titled Six of One, Perry's belongings included an outline of the series before it was renamed Friends - a rare item describing the premise of the series and the 'friends and lovers' it set out to follow.

'This was the name of Friends, Six of One, before it became Friends, but this is basically an outline, basically, "From the creators of Cheers and Frasier, you know, Six of One,"' Chanes said of the script.

'"Six single people living in New York is about friends and lovers, IKEA furniture, cappuccino, bad date, Spanish soap operas, and Mr Potato Head," but anyway, it just gives the rundown of it, and then here is a pilot.'

Outside of acting, Perry was also an avid tennis player who grew up playing the sport.

His rackets are among the possessions available for purchase, and their broken strings show the good use Perry got out of them. 

'He was heavily influenced by sports, especially tennis,' Chanes explained. 'He loved hockey too 'cause he was from Ottawa, but he felt particularly motivated by his idol Jimmy Connors.' 

Magazines collected by Perry's publicist also offer a snapshot into the Friends' heyday.

'I know they just look like regular magazines and plaques, but one of his publicists, his job... everything that he appeared in, he ended up getting him a copy. And so that's what you see, a portion of it right here,' Chanes said.

The auction boasts Banksy artworks projected to sell for more than a million, as well as an autographed Friends script donated by Warner Brothers already going for $16,000.

Yet Chanes stressed that the price point of numerous items was made with the fan who didn't have loads of cash to splash in mind.

'One thing I want to make clear for people, is that we have things for just a few $100 and we have things that are going to sell for maybe a million or more, that Banksy over there, the girl with the balloon.'

A set of VHS tapes from Perry's collection are now available at $330 - a fraction of the millions the rare artworks will likely go for.

'He was heavily influenced by sports, especially tennis,' Chanes explained. 'He loved hockey too 'cause he was from Ottawa, but he felt particularly motivated by his idol Jimmy Connors'

Perry battled addiction for many years, a struggle that . 

His rise to fame alongside Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer on the iconic Friends sitcom was overshadowed by personal struggles.

Perry openly admitted that his addiction issues frequently interfered with his work during those years and he laid bare his struggles in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.

Five people have since been convicted for their part in his overdose, including Perry's drug counselor, his 'Ketamine Queen' drug dealer Jasveen Sangha, and two doctors.

On Wednesday, Perry's one-time assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected the Friends star 'repeatedly' with ketamine on the day he died, was sentenced to more than three years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, causing death.

Yet Chanes stressed that the price point of numerous items was made with the fan who didn't have loads of cash to splash in mind

Iwamasa was the first of the five people implicated in Perry's death to reach a plea deal with prosecutors in August of 2024; Iwamasa seen above on May 27 in Los Angeles 

The actor's final request to Iwamasa was 'shoot me up with a big one' before the injection was administered. 

Iwamasa was the first of the five people implicated in Perry's death to reach a plea deal with prosecutors in August of 2024.

In addition to his 41-month prison sentence, Iwamasa was ordered to pay separate fines of $10,000 and $100, and be on supervised release for two years.

He must surrender to authorities by 12pm on July 17 to begin his sentence.
