If you want a piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia – I beg of you to stay away from eBay. The sharks are out… and without any authenticity oversight, there’s just no guarantee you’re getting what you think you’re getting. In fact, odds are great that you won’t.
On the flip side, the reputable memorabilia players have had nice items of late obtained directly from the source to ensure authenticity. Julien’s did very well last week moving 21 Jackson items for a total of $230K. A couple of notable pieces:
A copy of the Motown Records LP produced to coincide with the Jackson 5's hour-long 'Goin' Back to Indiana' prime time ABC-TV special in September of 1971. The album is signed in black permanent pen by Tito, Marlon, Jackie, Michael, and Jermaine, who are all featured on the cover of the album. The album is additionally signed by Randy Jackson who officially joined the band when he replaced Jermaine in the late 1970s. ($34K)
A Michael Jackson Victory Tour costume shirt. A custom sheer long-sleeve shirt with white spandex lining and covered in small pearls on one side and a combination of pearls and Swarovski crystal loch rosen on the other. ($52K)
Both items came from the personal collection of David Gest (producer and one-time Liza Minnelli husband).
