The untimely death of the King of Pop at the age of 50 shook the entire world leaving celebrities, personalities and fans mourning for Michael Jackson's death. After 6 years of his passing due to cardiac arrest, many are still longing for his presence and music. People compensate their sadness by purchasing Jackson's old belongings as memorabilia which ranges from his gloves up to his jackets. Auction House Nate D Sanders announced that Michael Jackson's rare white sequined glove is being put into auction on July 30, 2015 with a bid starting at a whopping $20,000. Though it's still a considerably high amount, the sequined white glove is much cheaper than Michael Jackson's other gloves that got sold at $350,000 last 2009 few months after his death and the other at $160,000 sold last June 2010.
Michael Jackson gave the right- handed white glove, which he used in his numerous performance and soon became one of his trademarks, to his friend artist, Paul Bedard. Paul then proceeded to craft different paintings depicting different personalities wearing the sequined white glove. The personalities shown in his artworks are Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Mona Lisa and even E.T. He later sold the glove last 2005 to a private collection.
The King of Pop is well- known for his Moon Walk dance move and a one- hand white glove. When he's still alive, reporters have asked him why he kept on using just one glove and the King said that its's "cooler than two."Together with the glove, a prototype of Jackson's custom- made black jacket for his "Bad" music video is also included in the auction with a starting bid of $10,000.
The winning bidder of the glove will also receive Bedard's artworks for Jackson, a typed document signed by Bedard to prove the glove's authenticity as well as Bedard's photo wearing the white glove.
