Michael Jackson's Victory Tour Glove to be Auctioned

In 1984, Michael Jackson swept the nation with his Victory Tour. He took the stage in his "Suit of Lights," which included that famous (and possibly infamous) sparkling white glove. Created especially for him by designer Ted Shell, the glove glimmered with beads, rhinestones and 50 tiny light bulbs, and became one of the most well-known symbols of the King of Pop. Now, thanks to Profiles in History, which recently announced plans to auction off the glove, MJ super-fans have the chance to own this iconic piece of memorabilia.

Shell made two gloves to be used on the tour. Jackson gave one back to him in 1986, and Shell decided to put it up for auction, complete with a letter of authenticity signed by himself and Judie Mallen, who installed the gloves' lights. Profiles of History will auction off other memorabilia at the event as well.

For those who are interested in the glove but don't think they have quite enough cash to make a competitive bid on Oct. 2 and 3, the item will be on display for all to see at Comic-Con in San Diego, Calif. later this month.

JR,phil,- Michael was one of the most amazing and incrdedible people on Earth with the most beautiful and kindest soul the world has ever seen. So don't you dare echoing junkie tabloids and saying such awful things about him, everyone knows its not true and all allegations have been proven to be LIES.
RIP MJ, you'll always be in our hearts.

Animo, his ability as a preformer does no negate his actions. He paid off the first child in the civil suit with a non discloser agreement to keep the child from testifying in the criminal trial. That loop hole was closed because of Jackson " buying his way out of a possible conviction". Now the second accusation I do believe was a lie but the first was not. So whip the rose colored glasses and see the truth, he was a sicko......
