When it comes to Jackson family memorabilia, nothing is too obscure,
odd or even disgusting for the auction block.
La Toya’s old sex toys will soon be up for grabs.
So, too, will be a black tuxedo that was worn not by the King of Pop
but by his pet chimpanzee Bubbles.
Thanks to a bankruptcy court proceeding involving a major collector, a
trove of Jackson family possessions — ranging from the absurd to the awesome —
is going to be sold off online.
“Some of the items are ordinary items that could come out of any
household — but when it has the provenance of being from the Jackson household,
that’s history,” said Peter Siegel of Gotta Have It! Collectibles, the auction
house that will be handling the sale.
All varieties of collectors and Jackson fans will find something to
their liking.
Even the creepy collector will be excited — an assortment of Janet
Jackson’s bras is part of the cornucopia.
There is the truly rare: 56 master recordings of the Jackson 5. The
reel-to-reel tapes contain versions of never-released songs, including the
group covering the Donny and Marie Osmond hit “A Little Bit Country.”
Siegel cautioned that while the tapes are the treasure of the auction,
they won’t be sold with copyrights to publish the songs.
