Jackson glove sells for $190,000
The BBC reports: A crystal-studded glove belonging to the late pop star Michael Jackson has sold at a US auction for $190,000.
The glove, worn during the Jacksons' 1984 Victory tour, was among over 200 items on offer, which sold for just under $1m in total.
The sale took place at Julien's Auctions at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas at the weekend.
Some items fetched more than 10 times their estimated value.
"It just shows you Michael Jackson is the most sought after and most collectible celebrity of all time. It was just phenomenal," Darren Julien, who ran the auction, told the Las Vegas Review Journal.
"People flew in from Asia, Russia, all over. Now that he's gone, we now realise the true legend we lost," he added.
The value of Jackson memorabilia appears to be rising. The first of his gloves to go on auction after his death went for $49,000, back in September 2009.
