Wow, that sounds like quite an auction.

It sounds like there were also some items up for auction from other entertainers like Elvis Presley also. :starry-eyed:

I find that astounding that someone would spend that much money on something like that. But hey, whatever floats your boat...

Honestly, I'm surprised it didn't bring a higher price. $500, 000 is the ballpark I would have expected. That glove is, or was, a pretty famous pop culture symbol for a long time.

It honestly doesn't surprise me. If it's what they like and they wanted it THAT badly...more power to them.

Wow, and on gloves. :blank:

I wish I had $350,000 at the moment. But it wouldn’t be going to gloves that's for sure. :lol:

Just to note, Lucas, it was only one glove. ;) It's not even a pair because Michael Jackson only wore one during his performance. If there had been two, the price probably wouldn't have gone as high. The lack of a second glove is part of what made the one so famous.

Well that just goes to show how much money Michael Jackson and his belongings are worth. Quite amazing really.
