Jackson memorabilia to be auctioned

Thursday 11th December, 2008
The glittery glove famously worn by former pop idol Michael Jackson is up for sale.
The glove will be auctioned in April, together with more than 2,000 items from Neverland Ranch, Jackson's home for over 15 years.
According to celebrity memorabilia specialist Julien's Auctions, which announced the auction Wednesday, the sale will also include the entry gates to Neverland Ranch as well many of the amusement and arcade devices that Jackson installed at Neverland to make his own private amusement park.
In addition to the collection of memorabilia from Jackson's own career the auction will also feature numerous fine art pieces and other pop culture memorabilia.
The auction came just weeks after the financially-troubled Jackson sold Neverland to a company that owned the mortgage on the property and which now plans to redevelop the 1,100 hectare ranch.
Jackson's possessions will be on display from February onwards in a highlights tour that according to Julien's will visit major cities worldwide.
The auction begins in Los Angeles on April 21 and bids will be accepted in person and online.
Jackson has said he will donate a portion of the proceeds to MusiCares, a charitable organisation founded by the Recording Academy to help musicians in need.
