Michael Jackson glove sells for $330,000 at auction
Baku, December 7 (AZERTAC). An iconic studded glove worn by the late Michael Jackson has fetched $300,000 (£191,220) at auction.
The single glove, worn by the pop star during his Bad tour in the late 1980s, was sold in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday.
A signed Jackson jacket and a fedora he wore on stage fetched $96,000 (£61,190) and $72,000 ($45,890) respectively.
Other lots included a military-style jacket worn by John Lennon for a 1966 Life magazine photo shoot.
It sold for $240,000 (£153,000) - considerably more than a Johnny Cash jumpsuit fetched at a separate auction, also in Beverly Hills, on Sunday.
The blue denim jumpsuit - worn by Cash for a rehearsal at San Quentin prison - went for $50,000 (£31,870)
"Johnny Cash is a true legend and his collectibility spans all continents," said Darren Julien of Julien`s Auctions.
More than $700,000 (£446,230) was raised from the sale of the 321 lots offered at Sunday`s event.
They included a signed acoustic guitar on which Cash wrote the first four lines of his hit I Walk the Line - a snip at $50,000 (£31,875).
An X-ray of scientist Albert Einstein`s brain and a pair of Marilyn Monroe`s empty prescription bottles were some of the more ghoulish lots on offer at the earlier sale.
Julien`s, organisers of the Icons and Idols sale, said the event brought in more than $3m (£1.9m).
